Management of anorectal symptoms associated with telaprevir.

چکیده
PJP Based on my clinical experience with telaprevir (Incivek, Vertex), I would say that anorectal symptoms occur 25–30% of the time. The package insert for telaprevir cites a similar figure, reporting anorectal symptoms in 29% of telaprevir-treated patients compared to only 7% of patients treated with peginterferon and ribavirin. Overall, approximately one fourth of patients seem to experience some type of anorectal symptoms when treated with telaprevir.
