Abbott oral treatment
Anyone else on Abbott's oral treatment? I just started today. I have a viral load of 1 million and cirrhosis. I decided not to take the interferon regimen and to try the new oral trial. So far I haven't experienced any side effects other than a mild headache. I'm wondering what others have experienced.
It's available in only a few states on clinicaltrials.gov. I'm doing mine in Alabama. But there are about five companies doing all oral treatments now in phase 2 or 3.
The only side effect I've noticed so far is a mild headache. Yes, I have four drugs, so it's probably the same trial. That's great news about the viral load drop. Let me know if he clears. I'm hoping I can clear as rapidly although I will still be on the drugs for six months.
I have a friend on an Abbott trial. 4 oral meds. Is that what you are taking? His viral load went up on just interferon and riba but with the 4 oral meds it started at 8 mil, went to 240 on week 1 and 25 on week 2. He got his week 4 yesterday but I haven't heard what it is yet. Hoping for undetectable since this time it is going in the right direction! He says also that no "real" side effects except headaches off and on and some shortness of breath. He is also cirrhotic. I hope that both of you clear!
