How many pills per day for telaprevir and boceprevir

Does anyone know how many pills per dose or pills per day you'll have to take with boceprevir and telaprevir?  I know they're going to be three times a day. But I don't know how many pills that is per day. Anyone know?

Boceprevir is 4 pills per dose 3 times a day every 8 hours.

Is that every 8 hrs regularly or 3 times a day during your awake times? Sometimes that is confusing.

Thats 8 hours apart, so i took mine at 7am, 3pm, and 11pm. and it is important to take them pretty much on time though you can give or take an hour if needed.

Thanks Can-do-man. I see some posts on another thread about the need for boce to be refrigerated, too. Is that right? What happens if you forget and it's been out for a while?

Does anyone out there know the pill count per day for telaprevir, too?

Thanks

Yes its important to keep boceprevir refrigerated, i was told  no more then a couple hours. I kept them on an ice pack when going to work. If your talking several hours of being left out i would get the advice from my doctor.

Thanks. Didn't know that. Not sure why that would be, but I guess it doesn't matter. Is what it is and who cares if it gets to an SVR.
