Peg-Intron or Pegasus

[Tony-z]

I am about to start my third round of treatment.

I have my choice of Pegasus or Peg Intron. Has there been any evidence which one has fewer sides.
I have had Rebitron thearapy also 2 months of Peg-Intron and ribo 2 years ago. I had to stop Peg-Intron because of sides.


                 Thanks,

I did my first shot of Peg-Intron last night, and have Rebetrol, 3 doses now of 4000mg each. I've not had any sides as far as I can tell. Drowsey from the Benedryl is all so far. I'm kkeping my fingers crossed.

Good Luck.....

ordering meds on the internet

i would be extremely reluctant about ordering any meds thru the net..what makes you think you are actually getting the product that is advertised..quality control is an issue, fraudulent products are rampant out there...is the med from the manufacture or some dirty bathtub of a third world country....be careful

I've been through three treatments and I will say I notice very little difference between Peg Intron and Pegasys. The side effects are nominally and very minimally changed and you will still have to deal with your temper and exhaustion and other weirdness. I guess I was lucky I didn't have to go on tranquilizers for the volatile temper fits. Avoid arguments, pinheads, enraged drivers, ex's and morons at all cost while on treament. I was also on Amantadine as well, but unfortunately, in my case nothing works. Luckily, I'm not progressing from stage 2 Fibrosis. I'm waiting for the Protease Inhibitors clinical trial to begin in this country. Canada and Germany are on their trials. Hopefully, the FDA will not drag their feet regarding this "wonder drug". Saying it like it is....

Good luck,

Magnum

I had blood in my last shot. I use the pre-filled syringes, and there is a tiny air-bubble that shows blood. there was such a tiny bit (and I'm too cheap to pay for 4 more syringes) I went ahead and used it. No problem, no bruise, and when I told my P.A. today, she said, no problem.   Joni
