If you have recently learned
that you or someone you know has been infected with
Hepatitis-C
you probably have many questions and concerns. You may
not know where to go to have your needs met.

Kings Pharmacy is the pharmacy that is dedicated to helping
you understand how to deal with this overwhelming disease.
Current injectable pegylated interferon treatments for Hepatitis-C
can be a rigorous drug regimen. Our pharmacists are experienced
in educating patients on side effects and explaining how to
kill this curable disease.
We are the leading
Hepatitis-C Pharmacy in the Brooklyn area with
many major hospitals referring patients
to our Clinical
Education Program. Patients receive thorough
one to one counseling and numerous support materials when
initiated on Pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin.
Through out your course of therapy which can typically
last from 6 months to 1 year we have many patient educational
classes and support groups for patients with |
 |
| Hepatitis-C. During these
classes you have the opportunity to speak to other patients
that are going through the same thing as you. Also, you
can ask any questions to our specially trained pharmacists
at any time. |
