Best Answer

She had been treated with these medicine in 2004 - (correct) It's in past participle tense. It means in the past the action occurred over a specified amount of time.

She had being treated with these medicine in 2004 - (Incorrect) We say "She is/was being treated...."

And as for your last two examples they are also incorrect. You need to omit "as"

She said she had earlier been treated by the Guptas, in May 2003 (correct)
