Hello,
Sorry to hear that you have diagnosed with Hepatitis C, that feeling must be very scary and uncertain.
However, you are in luck that there is a new medicine that has a very high cure rate for hepatitis C. Harvoni (Ledipasvir/sofosbuvir) has a 94 to 99 percent cure rate.
The treatment is generally 1 pill per day for 12 weeks.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Alexander Underwood
