Hello. Looked very much information about the treatment regimen of interferon every other day to 3 million, but everywhere there are two different opinions. "Officially" have to do three times a week with so-called fiasco Sunday, while others advise to do strictly through the day because concentration in the body will be more permanent. So how do you correctly? And how do you feel about therapy in 16 weeks instead of 24 (genotype 3a) at an early response?

Respond Stanislav Y. Karpov, hepatology, gastroenterology, hepatology and gastroenterology clinic Medal So-called short-interferon should not enter through the day and every day, and before the disappearance of the virus is better not to introduce 3 million units and 5 million units. Necessarily in combination with daily administration of ribavirin. This scheme greatly improves efficiency. Genotype 3a can be treated and 16 weeks if the virus disappears after 4 weeks of treatment, or - for 24 weeks. In general, in the last 7-8 years using pegylated interferon - they need to enter 1 time per week. They are somewhat better, but not radically better. Similar question: ...
