How should conditions associated with HCV be treated?

Symptoms of Chronic HepC
A. In general, these conditions may be treated independently of the hepatitis. Those that are clearly related to HCV may respond to treatment with approved therapy for HCV. All medications ingested by a patient with HCV should be reviewed by his or her physician because many drugs are metabolized by the liver, which may already be compromised by the virus. Some medications, particularly some antidepressants, can lead to fatigue if serum levels are too high.
