Changing Interferon Brand in Middle of Treatment?

Changing Interferon Brand in Middle of Treatment?

Does anyone have experience with changing from Peg-Intron to Pegasys in the middle of treatment? I am genotype 1 and on week 4 of my second treatment (Peg-Intron and Ribavarin). For my first treatment I had Pegasys and Ribavarin (I was UND for the first treatment but didn't achieve SVR.). I may have my current treatment changed from Peg-Intron to Pegasys due to side-effects.

Are there any problems with changing interferon in the beginning of treatment like this? Does this lessen the chance of treatment success?
