I've just started taking Rebetol 200mg Capsules as part of my treatment plan for chronic hepatitis C. My doctor assured me that it's a powerful medication that will help stop the virus from multiplying, but the side effects list is quite frightening. I'm especially worried about anemia. I was told that regular blood tests will be required because it can affect your red blood cells. Has anyone else taken Rebetol, and what was your experience? Here are a few questions I have. How can you tell if the flu-like symptoms are from the medication or just a cold? My doctor said it's important to stay hydrated, but how much water should I be drinking each day?
