Hepatitis C Support: PEGASSIST
Treatment Options

The usual treatment for hepatitis C is pegylated interferon plus ribavirin. It is the most advanced, most successful course of action that medical science has yet found for fighting hepatitis C. For a significant percentage of patients, pegylated interferon works—clearing the virus from their blood and/or making a real difference in their liver health.

Evidence from thousands of patients shows that you are more likely to succeed with treatment (clearing the virus) if you start PEGASYS at a younger age or before liver damage has a chance to progress.

Prescription PEGASYS

Talk to your doctor about starting treatment. Now is the time. You'll never be stronger than you are today!

Combination therapy using pegylated interferon and ribavirin can render the virus undetectable in up to 5 out of 10 persons with genotype 1 and in up to 8 out of 10 persons with genotypes 2 and 3.
