Do the new medicines involve these two meds?
Yes.
peg-interferon + ribavirin + INCIVEK™ (telaprevir)
or
peg-interferon + ribavirin + Victrelis™ (boceprevir)
You will need to wait for a newer generation of meds without eg-interferon and ribavirin. They are current in clinical trials.

I have been treated for hepc. My body cant tolerate the Inter/Ribo. Tried three time and ended up in ER each time.Dr said I should wait for Med that doesent involve Inter/Ribo.
Does the new med involve these two meds?
your alt & ast is high but the pcr is about average. the pcr is of no concern unless treating. Do you have Hep C? if yes you may want to consider treating soon. there hasn't been a better time to treat HCV then now because of the new drugs that just got approved.
best of luck
