I'm taking Pegasys, and in their documentation they say that they have a program for people who can't pay... See Trinity's post above.

Get him back on the meds asap because you don't want the virus to develop more resistance or he'll have a real hard getting rid of it.

Good luck,
Diane

Hi, you could start with the county in which you live.  There are clinics where people can go who do not have insurance.  Also he could check with some of the drug companies.  I have seen ads on TV that offer help to people who can not afford meds.  If he can't find info he could ask a doctor or a pharmacist may have knowledge.  There may be someone who is in the same boat and can give you the information
Good luck to you and your Dad
