 Well, that depends on the patient. For someone that has perfect adherence and no medication related side effects, they will work indefinitely. For someone with very poor adherence they don't work very well at all. For someone with mediocre adherence, they might last a few years on average. The crucial thing is that these newer regimens are much better tolerated than the original ones and this translates into vastly better quality of life. | ||||||||
