Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer.

Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.

what pills? I had White capsules.

I imagine everyone is on different tx so we will not have the same.

I think if you search online, you will get a description of the particular item and also there are pictures of each one.
I know you can get books that have pictures of all the different pills and different strengths are different colors.

There is a definition on the bottle I have. It says "This is a white, Oblong-shaped, Capsule imprinted with Ribavirin 200 mg and GC 608"
I think JustBlue is right again, we probably don't all take the same meds.

mine are pink.

The different brands/generics (Ribaviron, Rebetol, CoPegus, Ribasphere) are different colors and then of course it depends on if you have the tabs or the caps.

I think I've taken all the brands except for the Ribasphere.

The ole'man's are blue ovals w/200 on one side and 3RP (Three Rivers Pharmacy) on the other. He takes them with Pegasys. He takes 5/day. The last time was white capsules, 5/day. That was with Peg-Intron. We forget the first time.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
