According to this article, an Algerian version of Sofosbuvir (“Sofos-400” will soon be available for about 3000 euos.

Apparently, it will be made available for free in Algerian hospitals.

Made by Laboratoires Beker:

(click NOS MÉDICAMENTS; click Gastrologie; scroll to Sofos)

Note: Algeria is one of the countries excluded by Gilead’s “Voluntary Licence” with the Indian generic manufacturers.

Bit pricey V. One could travel to India or Bangladesh (probably in business class) and pick up a combo treatment for less than that. But it’s another option, and that’s good.

Yes, certainly a bit pricey compared to the other options now available.

Still, I posted it in case there is anyone on the forum from Algeria (lucky you!) or in case anyone has family there…

… And also to show that Gilead’s stranglehold on the world market just got loosened by another notch.

Cheers,

Yes, but they must use the Sofos with Ribavirin and interferon and it has to be approved by their Minister of Health. I hear that Roche is behind it. They’ll pay for the Sofos so their interferon will be used for a while.

HI All,

I just saw your message.

Indeed Beker has launched Sofos as well as Sofosled, respectively generic of Sovaldi & Sofosbuvir+Ledispavir.
They have launched a plateform for non algerian to have access to the treatment : look at http://www.bekerhepc.com
There is all the information about both products.

Algerians have universal healthcare therefore for algerian patients it is accessible through hospitals.

Hope it helps

I think there is a few countries that have stocks of Interferon to use up, come to think of it the pharmas probably dumped some interferon onto countries at bargain prices.

Two time relapser.

Although the prices are higher than other options it’s good to see the idea of access by personal importation starting to take root.

That’s true, it is good to see that there are some other options.
However i verified the price on their website bekerhepc.com
Sofos (Soofosbuvir) is at USD400 the box, so 1200 for the treatment
Sofosled (Sofosbuvir + ledispavir) is at USD600, 1800 for the treatment.

In Algeria what differes is as the country is not part of the WTO to be protected Gilead should have submitted its patent for protection to the MOH & MOT in Algeria therefore it gave the opportunity to the lab to do the generics.
I’d recommend you to check their FAQ for other questions, as i’d rather not talk on their behalf.

[strike]Sorry that I have to be a stickler for details but …. we need to vet this site. This domain is “bekerhepc.com” not “bekerlaboratoires.com”.

If you click on the “Beker” tab there are two links which suggest you’ll be taken to the actual Beker site … neither link works.

If you click the “Contact” tab you are given a physical address, an email address that does, in fact, use the bekerlaboratoires.com domain … sales.int@bekerlaboratoires.com … but most people would instead use the “fill-in-the-blanks” contact form.

On the actual Beker site there is no mention of the sof/led combo, Sofosled.

Anybody got time to do this?

Edit: Google gives me two other references to the site …here
https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-buy-Sovaldi-400mg-online
and here
http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=25&m=3143327

Both appear to be the same person writing and both are within the last three days.

Hi All,

Per klhilde’s comments above please note that this supplier is not currently a verified supplier. We await further information from them and will up date this thread once that is received and confirmed.

EDIT: The link in Chiraz’s original post above to http://www.bekerhepc.com has been verified as part of Beker Laboratoire and has now been reinstated.

Using the contact form is a worry, it throws an error.
