Response from Dr. Holodniy
It sounds like your white blood cell count decreased because of the interferon treatment for HCV. They gave you another medicine to increase your WBC but you haven't seen an increase from that. Sometimes we do have to stop HCV treatment because of side effects like this. In some people we can restart the medications and in others, depending on how severe the side effects are, we can't. I would discuss this with your doctor, as to when it might be appropriate again to restart or not. | |||||||||
