Side effects/allergic reactions
Should you experience any side effects of the medication you have been prescribed, call our office immediately to report the problem. During evening hours, our answering service will forward your call to the physician on call.
Should you experience an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing, skin rash, etc), discontinue the medication immediately and call 911.
Injectables
Patients beginning any treatment for Hepatitis C should call the “member services” department for their insurance plan to determine the preferred pharmacy for injectable medications. Many insurance plans offer a mail order pharmacy for their injectables, while oral medications may be received from a local pharmacy provider.
