The FDA has expanded the indications for a combination product to include patients with chronic hepatitis C who have not been treated with interferon alfa. This product, Rebetron Combination Therapy (Schering), contains recombinant interferon alfa-2b for injection (Intron A) plus ribavirin (Rebetol) in capsules, and was previously only approved for patients who had relapsed after treatment with interferon alone (401). Serious adverse effects, such as depression, suicidal ideation, and suicide, have occurred with this regimen and patients should be closely monitored. [Pg.1817]
