Almost 5.3% people are being ill with (hepatitis C virus HCV) in Pakistan. The therapy allotted to most
of genotypes is a mixture of interferon and ribavirin. The patients received some side effects. The study was
consisted of 25 people. Peg-Interferon alpha+ Ribavirinb
treatment was prescribed for constant hepatitis C from
September 2015 to February 2016 for 24 weeks. Those patients noted down in our questionnaire and updated us
about side effects which they had faced during the whole period. Overall, side effects were fatigue, nausea,
anemia, rashes, decreased appetite, chills, influenza like symptoms, neutropenia and hair loss. Most common
side effect was hair loss (87%). It is concluded that combined therapy of peg-Interferon alpha+ Ribavirinb
also
have side effects. Further approaches with fewer side effects are needed for the treatment of hepatitis C.
