Dr Shay Keating of the Drug Treatment Centre Board, has updated the booklet, Hepatitis C: A Guide for Drug Users and their Families.  The updated booklet was launched on  10 December 2003.  The information in this booklet is essential for drug users, in particular injecting drug users at risk of or diagnosed with hepatitis C.  It is also a useful tool for doctors, nurses and counsellors who educate drug users about hepatitis C.  The booklet is laid out in a question and answer format that addresses issues commonly raised by patients and their families.  It provides updated information on the condition itself and its treatment.  The booklet also provides transparent information on the criteria for entering treatment and the side effects of treatment.  As the treatment section has been revised substantially, it is strongly recommended that health service providers, drug users and their family members access a copy of the revised booklet. 

The booklet is available on the Drug Treatment Centre Board  website at www.addictionireland.ie  or from Drug Treatment Centre Board, Trinity Court, 30-31 Pearse Street, Dublin 2.
