Telaprevir? Teleprevir is a common misspelling of telaprevir.
Adults who have a chronic hepatitis C infection may benefit from telaprevir (INCIVEK™). This prescription medicine comes in the form of a tablet and is taken 3 times daily for 12 weeks. It works by blocking the action of certain enzymes, which the hepatitis C virus needs to replicate itself and multiply. Potential side effects include fatigue, diarrhea, and nausea.
