What is the difference between interferon and Pegasus they both are hep c tablets?
Answer:
Pegasus, Avonex, and there are a few others, are the brand name for interferons (they are all indistinguishable class drugs). Interferons are a family of naturally-occurring proteins that are produced by cell of the immune system. Three classes of interferons have be identified: Alfa, beta and gamma. Each class has different effects though their actions overlap. Together, the interferons direct the immune system's attack on viruses, microbes, tumors and other foreign substances that may invade the body. Once interferons have detected and attacked a foreign substance, they alter it by slowing, blocking, or varying its growth or function.
