This helpful guide for patients describes ways to manage the more common side effects of interferon treatment.

The guide also features quotes from veterans with hepatitis C who have undergone interferon treatment.

This is a booklet-formatted version designed to be printed back-to-back (flipped on short side), stapled in the middle, and folded to form a half-page booklet.
