Pegasys represents a type of interferon. This means that it has been used successfully in the treatment of hepatitis C. This drug may be used on its own or along with Copegus. The combination is especially effective in adults who suffer from a liver disease.

The Duration of the Treatment

There is more than one type of hepatitis C viruses. Because of this fact, the duration of the treatment may differ from one patient to another. However, generally the treatment needs between 24 and 48 weeks until the results become visible.

Administration of the Treatment

A few years ago, it was necessary to administer interferon three times a week. In the present time, the scientists have developed a better solution. PEG, which is also known as polyethylene glycol, is a substance that gets attached to interferon alfa-2a. As a result, interferon has a longer effect in the body and in consequence, Pegasys must now be administered only once a week. Because of this innovation, Pegasys became the number 1 prescribed drug of its kind.

Other Options

The Copegus interferon treatment may also consists of a combination of Copegus and Introl A, which is also known as interferon alpha-2b. The latter is available as injections. This combination is efficient in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C, especially if a liver disease that could not be treated by using Pegasys is present.

Administration of the Copegus Interferone Treatment

Pegasys is available as injections. This drug is administered subcutaneously. One the other hand, Copegus is available in the form of capsules which are administered orally. The body weight of the patient influences the dose of Copegus that is administered. The duration of the Copegus interferon treatment usually ranges between 24 and 48 weeks. Depending on the type of hepatitis C virus, the doctor adjusts the duration of the treatment, as well as the dose.

Storing Copegus

The RCopegus capsules along with the Introl A injections must be kept in the fridge at a temperature that ranges from 2 to 8 degrees Celsius. The capsules may also be stored at 25 degrees Celsius. The vials of Pegasys injections must also be stored at a temperature ranging between 2 and 8 degrees Celsius.
