Hi welcome to HCM.
I understand your query and concern.
Your medication list does not include drugs against hepatitis C.You are correctly receiving treatment for COPD and depression.But its extremely important to receive drugs like Harvoni which is a combination Sofosbuvir and Ledipsavir 90/400 mg.This drug is recently approved by USFDA for Hep C in terms of only single daily administration of the drug over a period of 12-24 weeks is all that is effective.You can continue Cranberry juice to prevent urinary tract infections.Continue Nebuliser therapy for COPD management.Consult your hepatologist for expert management.Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
