SIDE EFFECTS OF PEGYLATED INTERFERON ON HBVERS

[Mmmguy]

I want to undergo pegylated interferon treatment for 48 weeks. But I'm afraid of the side effects, so I want to ask if there are any major things I should know for those who have done the treatment before. Do you think it's worth it?

if  you are taking it because of liver damage then you can try , but if its to eradicat hbsag quantity it must be less than 2000ui/ml for you to have more chances to have a complete cure , but if your hbsag quantity is greater than 5000ui/ml dont just waiste your time

2000iu/ml is still too high, less than 500-1000iu/ml to have any chance.it was hell for me, today i 'd probably clear with my low hbsag but i d never go back there

You need provide more details, usually doctors follow through a check list to select PEGIF or Nucs as first line treatment.
Whats your HDVDNA count? HBeAG status? Age? ALT? Liver Fibroscanscore?
Definitely there are list of short term and long term side effects with PegIF.
Short term side effects are like Flu, Fatigue etc.,
