Unfortunately I didn't scroll down far enough...there is a smaller table under the larger 2 describing what to do If over 1000....good luck and talk to your doctor! Might be worth it to wait a few years for the next round of drugs coming down the pipeline.

Here is prescribing info for incevik from vertex...read page 2. It doesn't say to stop, just go 48 weeks...however if week 8 and 12 are not undetectable you may not have a good chance of beating the virus: http://pi.vrtx.com/files/uspi_telaprevir.pdf

Non - responder int he past here.  My doctor almost took me off the medication as I has a 3 log drop but it was not under 1000 at week 4.  Is this crazy?  After i argued they agreed to keep me on another month - a 3 log drop!
