Methadone is not a problem for people with hepatitis C. However, steroids, all kinds, are contraindicated in hepatitis C patients.

thank you for your comment and your %100 right i do need to look after my liver and i shouldn't put training befor treatment ect. iv got an appointment at hospital to get treatment so that will come first along side with bringing my methadone down to 30ml so i can go in to this detox place to get off the stuff. then if i get clean with both i might think about steroids. i was wanting them no but iv got bigger fish to fry lol

Good to hear you want to make changes with your methadone, do you have any plans to tackle your Hep C infection.I would have thought that would take priority over body building and consuming steroids.I was under the impression that steroids were actually quite hard on the liver,if I were you I would want to do everything I could to take care of it !

Good luck
