FDA Approves Gilead’s Vosevi for Re-treatment of Hepatitis C
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved 12 weeks of Gilead Sciences’ Vosevi (sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir) for the re-treatment of adults with all genotypes of hepatitis C virus (HCV) who do not have cirrhosis or who have compensated cirrhosis (the milder form of the severe liver disease).
More specifically, the approval is for a second hep C treatment for those with genotypes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 who were previously treated with an HCV regimen containing a direct-acting antiviral (DAA) from the NS5A inhibitor class or for those with genotype 1a or 3 who were previously treated with a Sovaldi (sofosbuvir)-containing regimen that did not include an NS5A inhibitor.

From where i will take the treatment in Punjab pin code. 146001 ( India )
I want to retreat Hep-C.
Last time i m clear the SVR process and get a certificate.
Still positive may be disease growing
Now they need to find a cure for hepatitis B
Big pharma is not going to make the kind of profits from a cure as they will from the rip off prices of treatment and re-treatment pills.
Now this is Available in Market?
I had all those symptoms , fatigue, heart palps, dizziness, vertigo, memory loss , mild random chest pains, with treatment of Harvoni, I would not report, while on Harvoni, as I was dead if I did and dead if I didn’t take Harvoni risk… I was stage 3-4 in 2010, but after 7yrs of holistic changes I was a stage 2-3 that NO doctor would admit to or credit diet and supplements especially “Milk Thistle”….I am now 2+yrs recovered (thank you God) and still have re-accurring symptoms and struggle more than other times randomly with side effects , that are not credited to this whole disease and process of medication….I am alive and grateful
Is there A retreatment if you have cirrhosis does anybody know
GOOGLE IT!
Last time I heard treatment for Hep C was over 5 grand & very few ins paid for it. I was a guinea pig for new experimental drug back in 1999, then with a different set of drugs in 2000, 2001 & 2003. Last study I had to wait a year to get healthy again. Sid effects were horrid. BUT after all the yrs of treatment, Ive been Neg for Hep C for 13-14 yrs & I had Geno type A1 the hardest to “cure”. I had a Great Dr that never gave up on me.
