  Do not want to scare you but I did triple tx with incivek, and it seems to have worked, at least so far, but I did have a lot of sides and even though I am post tx. I still am feeling the side effects, but it probably saved my life so who am I to complain.  Good Luck

You can find all the information here at the drug manufacturer's web sites.
Hopefully you can access the information outside the US.
