This purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of viramidine to ribavirin in chronic hepatitis C patients who have never before recieved treatment.
Compare the efficacy and safety of viramidine 600 mg BID versus ribavirin 1000/1200 mg/day, both drugs administered in combination with pegylated interferon alfa-2b to treatment-naive patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC)
