Hepatitis C Treatment

Well, the treatment process has changed very dramatically just in the past a year and a half.

It used to be an arduous treatment, with interferon injections and pills, ribavirin pills, to be taken every day for over 6 to 12 months.

Success rates were in the 50% to 70% percent territory. About a year ago, we moved on to an all-oral regimen, where you can take just some pills.

And so seeing your physician, getting an accurate diagnosis, and then taking the treatment is really a very simple process now.

Hepatitis C is curable, and the cure rates now are, or should be, around 90% to 95%.
