Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Brian Orelli]

  Both drugs have to be taken with pegylated interferon and ribavirin, the former of which has to be injected and causes flu-like side effects. That's a big deal, especially since the drugs have to be taken for 12 weeks, although it's an improvement on the nearly year-long treatments that were required before oral medications including Vertex Pharmaceuticals' (NASDAQ: VRTX  ) Incivek and Merck's (NYSE: MRK  ) Victrelis were introduced.
