I started triple therapy a week ago, 5th week of treatment. I have been taking the Victrellis 200 mg 4 pills three times a day . For the past few days I have been really sick, fever nausea, no appetite. Tried to call my dr office today, had to leave a message, and nobody called back yet, it's after 7 pm now so I doubt they will. My fever has been 99 + and wondering if I should just go in to the ER ?
