Question:

I have heard a lot about polymerase and protease inhibitors for treating hepatitis C. Can you tell me how to use them?

Currently, these medications are only available in clinical trials. None of these medications are FDA approved. They will be used in combination with interferon and ribavirin; they have not proven sufficiently efficacious without these other medications. Dosing and duration of therapy is still being determined and is part of the focus of these trials.
