I don't understand. I thought you do not have hep c anymore.

After completing successful treatment your cirrhosis should hopefully cease and go down a stage.

I have just checked this drug and it can cause all kinds of liver problems. I would go back to your doctor at once and have a serious discussion with him/her.

Just google it and you will find the inlay and warnings.
