HIV drugs cause heart risk, what about the HCV drugs?

[susan400]

I saw this article today about the HIV drugs causing a heart risk.  Does the same thing apply to the HCV drug combo's, i.e. Ribavirin + a Protease Inh....., or Ribavirin + a Polymerase Inh.  ??  I'd be interested to know.  The reason being that if you were to know that you have more of a heart risk factor than the average person, because of these drugs, wouldn't your doctor be more watchful and prepared for it in the event of a heart arrythmia problem?  I'm not saying that I wouldn't take another P.I. + Riba., because it might help my liver and give me SVR, but would this arrhythmia be a problem in the HCV drugs?  An interesting question for the researchers I think.

good question. I googled Riba today to see sx. I was more concerned about hymolytic Anemia though so I by passed the big long section about the heart.  Then I googled  hymolytic anemia to see if there was a way, food, vitimin, supliment I could take. I couldnt find a way to avoid the problem... I googled procrit...again im sure it must of had a biglong list of heart sx. along with way long list of sx. hum....I pee too much when I drink lots of coffee. But Id rather pee than take the pill for peeing too much. because of the side effects... But hep C . is worse than peeing. I controll that by the afternoon....
