I was dx with hepc in 1976. No treatment. I currently take roxycodone 30mg BID, and oxycotinER 10mg BID. Is this safe? Have been taking them for 6 years.

You should discuss this with your doctor who has prescribed the meds. We here are not medical professionals. We are a community of people who share our experiences living with and treating hep c we cannot provide medical advice or diagnose any medical condition.

Are you aware there are new treatment approved in the last couple of years that cancer your hep c? Treatment could be a simple as 1 pill a day for 8 weeks and you will be cured.  The treatment for you will depend on different factors you should discuss getting treated with your doctor to determine what is the best treatment for you.
