When to stop pills after last shot

[m50]

I have conflicting info about when I should stop taking my pills after my last shot.My Dr.told me I could stop them the day of my last shot or take them 3-4 days after the last shot then the nurse said I should take the pills as I have been and stop them the day I would have gotten the next shot. So its almost like they left it up to me but is there a norm to how long after the last shot? So confused? Of course I dont want to be on them any longer than I have to but being its been a long long year I dont want to mess up my treatment.

Technically, it's probably not going to make any difference, since at this point, your levels of ribavirin are at a steady state because you've been taking it for so long. After a couple months of the stuff, even a missed dose once in a while is no big deal at all.

However, in the interest of being nice, neat, and orderly, I would concur with the others. Shot, 7 days of pills, finished.

Good luck on ya.

The nurse is right.  Do last injection, then do pills for 7 more days.
The last week is the same as the first week.  Shot, followed by one week of pills.
Have fun.  Jamfer

I agree with Dave; however, I had moved my shot day so mine was a little different. Because I started treatment on Friday, my last day of pills was Thursday after my last shot.

Good luck and we will be waiting for your post results.
Happy recovery!
