I'm surprised they don't disclose more about the internal searing rectal pain.

 Exactly!! Tore my skin up and still trying to get all healed being so anemic that sores stay raw for long long time.

I have finished the incivek weeks ago, plus having to eat/drink 20grams of fat before each dose.

Serious rash response is one of the reasons they stop Incivek tx. Its nothing new, just another precaution...

Failure to take preventive and/or timely measures against the rash or to report it to your MD for a proper action and guidance indeed can lead to serious consequences.

Piece of advice in case of rash - do not rub the moisturizing lotion/cream in hard, generously apply on the rash spots, so they are well covered, and let it be like that for several minutes before you put your clothes on.

So what, too much water can be fatal. All meds have a risk of side effects. The incivek risk is low. Hep C risk of dying is much higher without treatment. Taking aspirin or aceteminophen can be fatal but millions of people use them every day. Seems to me you're just fear mongering. The people on this forum are very well read and have done the research.

If you are taking Incivek, you should probably revisit this with your doctor.  According to today's news, (http://www.rxwiki.com/news-release/incivek-has-small-risk-fatal-and-nonfatal-serious-skin-eactions), Incivek can be fatal.

Thanks dailyrx, we were aware that a new warning was being added to the Incivek drug label concerning this issue.

Here`s the safety announcement which was published by the FDA today...

Cheers, Jill
