There is a 4 week lead in with Reba/Interferon which would make the Bocep/
Vic treatment an additional 4 weeks at the beginning of treatment.  So to
be technical - the treatment with Bocep/Vic with the 2 drug lead is 28 weeks
and could be as long as 48 weeks.

Your viral load response determines how long you will take Bocep/Victellis.
Hepatitis.va.gov/. It can be from 24 to 48 weeks.  The treatment booklet is
on the referenced site for the public to read.

Hi, DWBH is right, the Incivek tx is response based, could be 24 could be 48 not sure about the Bocep/Victrellis but someone else will probably be along to answer, I think it is 36 or 48
