FDA Adds Boxed Warning to Hepatitis C Drugs, Warns of Hepatitis B Reactivation Risk

www.raps.org/Regulatory-Focus/News/2016/...B-Reactivation-Risk/

So if one had Hepatitis B would you still treat? I'd take that chance since a very small number of cases were reported. By the way, that warning was from the Food and Drug Administration which is USA based.

I just got my prescription from Dr Freeman and I plan on getting my meds. Never had hep B anyway. Just information here.

Genotype 1A
ALT 473
AST 226
Virus Load 3,119,030

Portal/Periportal fibrosis (stage 1-2 trichrome and reticulin stains utilized)
