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,

Hi there Tony .... I am on Pegasys & only know what I read & hear from others on Pegintron .... Pegasys is more forgiving ...  Here's some Info for you Tony, its very good reading <a href="http://janis7hepc.com/pegintron_or_pegasays.htm">PegIntron or Pegasys</a>  ...

I've done both and found Pegasys much easier to tolerate. That's been my experience. Mike

Tony I am on Pegasys co-peg and sides have been manageable. I never did try pegintron so I don't know the difference. From what I have read on this site and others it sounds like Pegasys has a little better edge than Pegintron and that is why I chose Pegesys. My opinion only. Good luck whatever you do.
