Hi,
THanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern for your brother's wife.
The goal of HCV treatment is to cure the virus, which can be done with a combination of drugs. The specific medications to be used and the duration of treatment depend on a number of factors.
There are a number of approved therapies to treat HCV, which include: 1. Harvoni - sofosbuvir/ledipasvir,
2. Daklinza - daclatasvir,
3. Olysio - simeprevir,
4. Sovaldi - sofosbuvir,
5. Technivie and Viekira Pak.
Kindly consult Physician for proper evaluation and appropriate treatment upon assessment.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
