PEG - INTRON REDIPEN

Just wanted to know if anyone has used the redipen?  I just found out about two months ago that i have hep c and the liver specialist I am seeing is putting me on the max dose that the redipen can give.  I'm not sure what that dose is.  I meant to write it down but I will on my next visit.  I am a newbie to this site and must say you all have some great information on here.  I hope to be a regular on here as I start my treatment and will post any information I think will be helpful as it comes along.  Good luck to all who are going through hep c treatment.  I know it will be hard but look forward to beating this no matter what I have to go through.  I see most of you have a lot stats on your hep c and I will get all mine next visit.  I start this treatment on June 30th.  Lots of fun on a holiday weekend!  Take care!

I use redipen. I was nervous at first and worried that I wasn't following all the steps. My dr said not to worry about additional amount wasted. I began with a high VL at 20 million. I had a 3 log drop at 4 wks and undetectable at 12 and 24 wks. I was told by my dr that the dose lasts well over 7 days, so a little wasted doesn't make any difference. good luck!

Hi All,

Does anyone have a guestimate of when the trials should be over with the new drugs?  Just curious.

I think you'll find she's that gal that's a yammering away on the phone all the time and complainin' that you left the toilet seat up. You know, the one with the shampoo collection in the shower?

Hi Debby,

I know, but can't help but worry as there are some 2B's that relapsed.  You have 2 months left of tx,right?  When is that appointment with Dr J?

Why worry about it at all - you won't be having to re-treat anyway.
