Response from Dr. Dieterich
 Pegylated interferons are being studied for hepatitis B. Often they are used in combination with either lamivudine(Epivir) or adefovir(Hepsera). They do appear to work reasonably well and certainly have fewer side effects than the old daily dose or three times per week doses. I do think the pegs will have a role in the future of HBV treatment. DTD |
