Sofosbuvir is an exellent treatment,,,
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you asking HCM.
With regards to chronic hepatitis C treatment, there is a new drug called Sofosbuvir with 90% success and for only 12-24 weeks of treatment (depending on genotype).
May be your doctor is waiting for it, still it is not available in all countries.
However I need to know your liver panel, HCV- RNA, genotype and abdominal ultrasound, to give an accurate opinion.
I kindly ask you to upload your medical data to me.
Hope it was of help.
