How medication works to treat Hepatitis C
how does ribavirin and peginterferon alfa- 2b work in the body at the cellular level to treat hepatitis C
I agree, both must be taken.
The treatment with most promising results is a combination of pegylated interferon alfa (Pegasys, PEG-Intron) and the antiviral drug, ribavirin. Interferon alfa is a protein which the human body produces naturally as a defense response to viral infections. Pegylation describes a chemical process that makes the interferon last longer in the body. Interferon increases the potency of ribavirin in the treatment of HCV.

Pegylated interferon is a man-made form of interferon, a chemical naturally produced in the body to fight viruses. Interferon helps to stop the hepatitis C virus (HCV) from making new copies of itself. It ramps up the immune system to kill HCV. Pegylated interferon is made with special add-on parts that help the drug stay in the body longer.
Ribavirin is a powerful antiviral drug that helps treat hepatitis C infection. It's not completely understood how it fights the hepatitis C virus, but in general, it interferes with the virus' ability to replicate.
For optimal results both must be taken.
