Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Pegasys is being used to treat Hep B as well as Hep c. It is a mild form of chemotherapy and does have some side effects that can be managed. You MUST be followed by a specialist, such as a gastroenterologist or infectious disease doctor because your bloodwork must be monitored closely to see how your body is tolerating the drugs. Roche pharmaceuticals does have a patient assistance program that goes by your income. However, I don't know if you can access that outside of the US. This medication and the disease must be monitored by doctors who are experienced in dealing with HBV & HDV. Best wishes to you.

    never heard of this name but the only true(not fake) medications you can buy from the USA has to have a doctors prescription unless you are talking about a herbal remedy. then you could google holistic medications in the USA.

    If you are in the u.k then go to the GP (its free to register) and ask for a prescription (you ll get it for free ! )


    All meds in uk need prescription from doctor.


    Go to a GUM clinique ( ask 118500 for the one near you)
