[goldenrule]

Can anyone give me links to studies or articles that cover post treatment long term effects of combo therapy??

Thanks

I flagged "DoubleDose" because he keeps track of post treatment issues in a more comprehensive way than most. That said, relatively very little has been invested -- time or money -- into post treatment/long-term side effects. The drug companies seem to spend their money -- enormous amounts -- on getting FDA approval, but not much incentive to fund studies critiquing their own drugs after that. Until DoubleDose chimes in, here are a number of threads from this discussion group which will at least give you anecdotal accounts -- both way -- of post treatment issues. Be prepared when reading through them for some heated discussion.

I attended a presentation about experiences of hepatitis c treatment and its management, which also involved a study of 20 people at 3 hospitals.  I wrote about it, plus there is a pdf file for you to click on, you can find all the information here: http://www.hepcaustralia.com.au/
