| Response from Dr. McGovern
 Interferon can cause headaches, irritability, depression, and decreased concentration among other symptoms. You will want to be able to easily contact your physician should you begin to have any significant symptoms - particularly those related to depression. The good news is that genotype 2 is easy to treat. | ||||||||
