Maybe somebody whose not banned like me yet can go on there and help this guy, maybe both a post in forum and PM him. I found his thread washing around in 'current tx and drug trials" section, he's from Canada and he actually mentioned going to India for generics, but I don't think he has up to date info, he thinks daclatasvir isn't avalable yet, of course he was strongly advised to wait for the gilead velataspir,,,he's 73 YEARS OLD and has ALREADY RELAPSED and they are telling him to KEEP WAITING!

Pamelajean, I am highly grateful to you for sparing time and providing me necessary guidance as to how should I proceed considering my profile. I fully agree that Velpatasvir is a highly effective antiviral & that too for any genotype.
As regards my status I am a Canadian. Frankly, I have almost NO choices. I will explain in this way that I am a retired person with limited bank balance, no Insurance and no Pension. That is why, all this time I was waiting for a Clinical Trial, but unfortunately it was failure for me. I am not going to India specially for Tx but my long planned visit just happened to coincide with my relapse of HepC. Hence, I am only trying to take advantage of the visit to get myself treated as well. Otherwise, there are not many choices in Canada as there are for hepC patients in US. If I do not get a Tx in India on my coming visit, then, I will have to keep waiting for some Trial as I was doing for 3 years earlier since I cannot afford to buy such drugs.
As regards Indian market, Daklinza is expected to be available by next month and for Velpatasvir there is no news so far.
Thanks for taking interest to sort out my problem relating to re-treatment.
Dawin
He received this helpful advice, among others,
"I don't know anything about the generics, and I don't think there have been any studies on them. Personally, I would wait for the pangenic drugs that are set to be released soon, probably 3/12/16 or thereabouts
GT 2b; since 80's, no prior tx, sofosbuvir and daclatasvir compounded from API's at Kingswood Pharmacy in Sydney, started tx nov 6,2015, undetected at 4 wks, UND at 8 weeks, UND at 1 week after EOT, UND at 4 weeks after EOT and UND at 8 weeks after EOT. " I feel GOOD!! I knew that I WOULD!"
