Yes--this is the triple tx with Victrelis. You do a lead in month of ribavirin/ interferon then after 4 weeks add the Vitrelis. Length of time you remain on tx depends on response. I have just started week 10--it has been ok. Mild and bareable sx. Others are on Incivek which starts with all 3 drugs for the 1st 12 weeks--then they get to drop the Incivek for the remainder of the tx.
Hope this helps clear things up a little.

I see where some of you take a combo shot and pill for four weeks then add another pill. Is this correct? You do this for how long? Do you take all three rx for a full 24 weeks? Very confused. Please help.
