Boceprevir? Bocepravir is a common misspelling of boceprevir.
Boceprevir (VICTRELIS™) is a prescription drug used for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C. It is only approved for use in combination with peginterferon alfa (Pegasys®, PEG-Intron®) and ribavirin (Copegus®, Rebetol®, Ribapak®, Ribasphere®). The medication comes in capsule form and is typically taken three times a day with food. Although generally well tolerated, this medication can cause side effects such as fatigue, nausea, and headache.
