Treatment time for me was also reduced to 28 weeks due to my excellent response. The worst side effect I experienced was anemia which I was treated with procrit for with success and my medication was not reduced due to this side effect. Boceprevir was F.D.A. approved May 13, 2011. I consider myself very fortunate to have participated in this study. Thank you Merck and Lahey Clinic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
