- Authors
Jacobson, Ira M.
- Abstract
The article suggests the importance of adhering to an adequate ribavirin (RBV) dose in patients with anemia. Phase II trials of boceprevir and telaprevir revealed the significance of RBV to the overall treatment success of protease inhibitor (PI)-based therapy for hepatitis C virus. The strategies for patient adherence to RBV and triple combination therapy are also discussed.
