24 weeks treatment with Sofosbuvir + Daclatasvir

16.08.2016 SVR 2421 December 2015 at 1:44 pm #6904At F4 you need 24 weeks to move your success rate from mid eighties into the nineties.
If you’re on Harvoni I would at 12 weeks generic.
YMMV
21 December 2015 at 2:04 pm #6909I have been approved for 12 weeks Gilead harvoni which I am taking now but maybe I will have to get another 12 weeks generic myself if this fails and the state wont approve another 12 weeks.

Hi darbara,
Please consider getting the 12 weeks generics to use straight after the Harvoni to allow continuous treatment out to 24 weeks.
If you finish 12 weeks Harvoni and then wait to test if you have cleared and you fail then you will need to start again and do another full 24 weeks treatment in one go. The treatment must be continuous to work properly.

21 December 2015 at 2:54 pm #6916I will get that generic and if I get SVR 12 THEN I can stop at say 16 weeks. You think this is good an idea ?

16.08.2016 SVR 2421 December 2015 at 3:10 pm #6918You need to treat, non-stop for 24 weeks. You won’t know if you achieved SVR until you stop treatment. When you stop, you have to start all over again. You need to get your 12 weeks of generics before you run out or its back to square one. I have 8 weeks extra I am keeping in reserve until I hit SVR 12. I can “loan” you however many you need in order not to interupt your tx.

7/07/16 UND SVR 2421 December 2015 at 3:24 pm #6922Hi dabara,
It sounds like there is some confusion with terms. SVR12 is tested at 12 weeks after completing treatment.
It sounds like you mean doing a test at week 12 of treatment? And then deciding if you should treat longer?
If this is the case then by the time you get the new supply of meds you will have had a gap where you are not taking medication. If this is the case then you will probably need to start again and do a full retreatment which will need to be the full 24 weeks.I’m not a doctor myself so can’t advise whether 16 weeks of continuous Harvoni treatment would be enough for you. Perhaps Dr Freeman can? But the usual advice if you have or may have cirrhosis (you are F3/4 and fit this description) is to treat for 24 weeks for very best results. I think shorter treatments are based on economics for the insurer/government/whoever is paying rather than the best for the patient.

21 December 2015 at 3:29 pm #6924What I mean here is that take harvoni for 12 weeks + 4 weeks of generic harvoni. After 12 weeks if I get SVR THEN I WILL stop taking meds after 16 weeks. If I dont achive SVR AFTER 12 i WILL CONTINUE FOR A TOTAL OF 24 WEEKS.
I go for an MRI scan after 4 weeks harvoni + bloods.I am travelling to asia often in a year. I have 2 trips planned in the next 4 months. I can get the meds from there no problem
As far as Gilead goes they say 12 weeks with or without cirhossis for treatment naive but one can never be sure of their sales pitch.

BTW Gilead plans on selling original Harvoni in India from Feburary 2016 , price will be $ 1050 for 28.
The same they have done with original Sovaldi. India there is generic and original.

The rich in India import from the US as 3 months medicine can be imported with no problem but they wont anymore as it is now in India BUT there is many who feel generic is not 100 % good. For me I think generic is as good as original. There is a difference between fake and generic
