I am off Incivek tomorrow. 12 weeks, 3 times a day, every 8 hours with min 20 gr fat (the biggest nuisance). Put on some weight, was 15-16 lbs last I climbed the scales.
Perhaps, took too much dairy products as a fat ingest and mixed some with carbo's early on, which was a mistake. Murad (another guy on Incivek on this forum) kept it strictly to
20gr olive oil with lemon juice all the way, and actually lost more than 10 lbs.
That said, coming to the Incivek schedule, my hepatologist told me that recent studies showed that 2 x 12 hrs intake is as effective as 3 x 8 hrs (makes it lot simpler for that fat).
I am not surprised to see it prescribed like that. Needless to say, its an integral part of a triple therapy with Ribavirin and Interferon, never Incivek alone.
This is the link to the TX workbook, with all the basic info:
The Incivek dose is three times a day, 8 hours apart (within a half hour). Be sure you know the facts before you begin, and certainly before you share misinformation with others, particularly when it comes to the other two drugs you will use with it. Nobody ever took Incivek by itself.

Normal dose is x3 a day, 7-9 hours a part. At least it is for me.

Al, I assume the Incivek is for 12 weeks and in addition you will be taking weekly Pegasys injections and 1000-1200 mg of Ribavirin daily. After the 12 weeks some continue on with mPeg and Riba for 24 or 36 weeks.
Is this what your going to be doing?

Hi Al, just type incivek in the search field above and there's a wealth of info there. The rash, and getting 20 gms of fat with every dose seem to be the 2 main things but whatever you need to know should be there.
