Impact on SVR

[JamesJ2013]

Dear all,
My doctor switched me from Pegasys to 80 mcg Pegintron due to low platelts. After a lot of discussion and second opinion, he put me back on regular dose of pegasys. Now  I have decided to take every measure and not reduce the dose for the remaining treatment. I just want to know whether these two low dose shots are going to have any impact on my attaining SVR?
My treatment history: four shots of Pegasys+800mg Riba (became RVR), then two shots of 80 mcg Pegintron+800mg Riba and now back to regular dose of Pegasys+800mg Riba. Treating for the first time, genotype3, 87kg (190 lbs) 39 years.
Regards.

Thanks FIGuy,
Yes I was UND  at week. For Riba he said and I also read a study that its the standard dose for genotype 3 and wight based is used for shorter treatments i.e. 12/16/18 weeks. Im doing 24 weeks. So what are my chances of attaining SVR?

You should talk with him about a weight-based dose of ribavirin. As an estimate 14 mg per kg of riba would put you at about 1200 mg of riba per day.  When was RVR, after 4 weeks?
