Ribavirin was later added to HCV treatment and nucleoside / nucleotide analogs (NA) were introduced for HBV. Interferon was later pegylated to improve its properties. However, these drugs did not provide sufficient efficacy and were additionally associated with a number of side effects. It is precisely because of these disadvantages of the current...
