A new study has found that a ledipasvir–sofosbuvir combination is safe and effective for older individuals with genotype 1 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
A new study has found that a ledipasvir–sofosbuvir combination is safe and effective for older individuals with genotype 1 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Researchers analyzed sustained virological response at 12 weeks and monitored adverse events, comparing a sample of nearly 2,300 patients aged 65 years and older with a group younger than 65 years. At 12 weeks, 97% of the younger patients and 98% of those aged 65 years and older achieved sustained virological response. The most common adverse events were headache and fatigue. The findings are published in Hepatology.

Hi Tommy,
I'm 67 years old & today I just finished 168 days of Sofosbuvir / Ledisbovir , plus 84 days Ribavirin.
I struggled with the Ribavirin side effects but just managed to stay on the full dose of 1200mg.
The last 4 weeks of treatment I suffered a lot of joint & muscle pain.
Also feeling fatigued most days.
