Is this a sign the tx is not working.
 
 
Dear Dr. Chung,
 
 
 
I have been on Peg Intron for nine months for HCV- 40 treatments one entire vial and 1000mg ribaviron. My viral count has gone up in the last 2 months - and I have become increasingly tired. Is this a sign the tx is not working.
 
 
 
 
 
 
  Dr Chung Writes-  
 
 
Yes this is the case. You may consider whether you are a candidate for a maintenance trial (HALT-C, for instance) to determine whether low dose PEG can slow liver disease progression.
