Treatments
Currently, a drug called interferon is sometimes used to treat hepatitis C infection. Interferon may be used in combination with other drugs.
To help protect their health, people who have hepatitis C should not drink alcohol. They should consult a health care provider before taking any medications (even over-the-counter) or herbal remedies. (While many medications are safe for people with hepatitis C, certain medications can damage your liver.)
If you have hepatitis C, infection with hepatitis A or B can put you at greater risk for liver damage. Talk to a health care provider about being vaccinated against hepatitis A and B.
