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

    http://www.raps.org/Regulatory-Focus/News/2016/10/04/25946/FDA-Adds-Boxed-Warning-to-Hepatitis-C-Drugs-Warns-of-Hepatitis-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.
