Hepatitis C is treated with direct-acting antiviral (DAA) medications. Your doctor will determine the hepatitis C genotype for a specific medication. About 75% of American are genotype 1a or 1b according to the American Liver Foundation. Thank you.
There are several anti-viral medications that eradicate the virus with high success rate. See a hepatologist for all the details.
We owe a debt of gratitude to the many scientists who discovered and produced these medications, which have transformed the treatment of Hep C by providing a complete cure.
This is a long discussion and you can schedule a visit with your specialist for all answers before you start treatment. You should get treated for this condition. It’s much simpler now.
