&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;What are the treatment medications?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;-qt-block-indent: 0; text-indent: 0px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;From March 2017, new medicines known as direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) became available in Thailand. The new medicines have proven to be &amp;gt; 90% effective in curing hep C. &lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Treatment will usually be for a period of 12 weeks, but may be for up to 24 weeks for some people.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; As newer medicines become available, the need to check genotype and use older medicines will likely decrease, making treatment for all people with hep C much simpler.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;-qt-block-indent: 0; text-indent: 0px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Since 2014&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, the following DAAs and fixed-dose combinations have been approved &amp;ndash; and more are in development.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;text-indent: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;daclatasvir 30, 60, and 90 mg (Daklinza)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;text-indent: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;dasabuvir 250 mg (Exviera)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;text-indent: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;sofosbuvir / ledispavir 400 mg / 90 mg&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;text-indent: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;simepravir 150 mg (Olysio)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;text-indent: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;sofosbuvir 400 mg (Sovaldi)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;text-indent: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;ombitasvir / paritaprevir / ritonavir 2.5 mg / 75 mg / 50 mg (Viekirax)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;text-indent: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;elbasvir / grazoprevir 50 mg /100 mg (Zepatier)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;-qt-paragraph-type: empty; -qt-block-indent: 0; text-indent: 0px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;-qt-block-indent: 0; text-indent: 0px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The following DAA medicines are currently available in Thailand:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;text-indent: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Harvoni&amp;reg; (Sofosbuvir + Ledipasvir)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;text-indent: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Sofosbuvir + Daclatasvir&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;text-indent: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Sofosbuvir + Velpatasvir&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;How much will I have to pay for treatment?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Even though HCV guidelines now only recommend oral DAA treatment, the high price of these medicines&amp;nbsp;means that in many countries they are only available to people who have advanced liver damage. Luckily hepatitis C treatment is affordable at Pulse Clinic.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The cost will include:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Doctor consultation fee&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Complete blood test&amp;nbsp; (including HCV viral load, HCV genotyping, complete liver function, and kidney function)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Medications (prescribed by our doctor)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Continuous medical follow-ups&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20px;&quot;&gt;Treatment side-effects&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The new medicines now being used to treat hep C have a lot fewer side effects and are better tolerated. Side effects may include fatigue, headache, insomnia, and nausea, but they are uncommon and typically mild in severity. It is important to understand what the possible side effects are for any medicines you will be taking and tell your doctor if you are experiencing these symptoms. Health professionals can help reduce your side effects and also help you to manage them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 20px; color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;What is meant by the term &amp;lsquo;cure&amp;rsquo;?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;A &amp;lsquo;cure&amp;rsquo; is indicated by a sustained viral response at week 12 after treatment(i). Your doctor will order a PCR viral load test 12 weeks after treatment finishes, and if the results show &amp;lsquo;virus undetectable&amp;rsquo; (no virus) it means that you have&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 700 !important;&quot;&gt;successfully cleared&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 700 !important;&quot;&gt;the virus and there is no hep C in your body.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Some doctors will order a further PCR viral load test 24 weeks after treatment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div id=&quot;cc-m-14886748025&quot; class=&quot;j-module n j-imageSubtitle &quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc; font-size: 20px;&quot;&gt;After treatment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Once you have been cured of hep C, your body will continue to make antibodies for ten years or more. Antibodies are produced as a part of your body&amp;rsquo;s natural defense system against infections. Having hep C antibodies does not mean you still have hep C. If your PCR test is still negative 3 months after completing treatment, the virus is no longer in your body. It is important to remember that while the antibodies remain in your blood, this does not protect you against getting Hep C again. You should avoid blood-to-blood contact with others (including sharing injecting equipment) so you do not catch Hep C again. Most people will start to feel better during treatment for hep C.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;What if I don&amp;rsquo;t clear the virus?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;If you don&amp;rsquo;t respond to treatment, or relapse in the six months after treatment, it means that you have not cleared the virus, and treatment has not worked for you this time. It&amp;rsquo;s important not to feel that you have &amp;lsquo;failed&amp;rsquo;. The treatment has not been a waste of time and effort &amp;ndash; even reducing the amount of virus in your liver for a short while provides a big benefit to your health and liver. Try to keep up with healthy eating and lifestyle, and stay in regular contact with your doctor, so that your health is regularly monitored every 6 months. Your doctor may also recommend re-treatment. By staying in touch with your doctor you will also learn of any new developments in hep C treatments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
