Hey I’m wondering if we could just kinda find out how many Generic Rebels there are? Please just enter whatever you want, but if you’re SVR from generics, whether from gp2u, Mesochem, Incepta, Greg Jefferys site or wherever. Just identify yourself as a Generic Rebel and the country you’re from. That’s right, I’m being nosy here and wondering who is from the farthest away country from Australia? Hope I said that right. This is just being started for discussion. Anyone?

G1a dx’d in 1992, Biopsy F2 VL 8mill +. Tried tx with Interferon/Riba, back in 2008 didn’t last long it felt horribly ugly!! I stopped tx, after 5 weeks!!
Started tx 6/1/16 with Harvoni.

SVR 4. Canadian living in Mexico. I did 12 weeks of Lesovir-C made by Beximco labs out of Bangladesh. Happy to be labeled as a Generic Rebel on your list, fretboard. Actually I am a professional guitar player as well, but I guess that is for a different conversation we could have….

Yeah, I’ve played professionally as well, not so much anymore. Glad you stopped by, hey what genotype were you anyways, just wondering? Now I gotta ask my friend google what is Lesovir, new one to me.

Genotype 1a. Lesovir-C never got as popular as Twnvir (the other Bangladeshi generic harvoni) mostly, i think, because it comes in big ass plastic bottles with 7 pills per bottle so you end up travelling with 12 pretty big boxes to cover your whole treatment. Also, i think the people at Incepta (who make twinvir) are more user friendly when it comes to being helpful selling their meds.
I just happened to have a friend working at an NGO in Bangladesh who was coming home to the states for Xmas and offered to buy me my meds and bring them back with them. I think they chose Beximco Lesovir-C because Beximco is recognized by the FDA and they probably had some connection to the people there.

Lucky you! Thank God for good friends! Yeah I found out that Lesovir-C is just a generic name for Ledipasvir, I should have known. WTG!!

In this instance anyone who takes generic HepC drugs, and reaches SVR is considered a Generic Rebel. When it comes down to you, if you are SVR you are a Generic Rebel, stand and be counted! ~Cheers!!

Here’s a map. It’s not entirely accurate as a number of people from problem import countries travelled for access but it gives you an idea.

I guess that’s me standing all by myself in the middle of Mexico. Cool! Except for the fact that there are all kinds of hep c sufferers here and the only treatment available legally is Interferon and Ribavirin. I have been trying to get the word out here about other possibilities but so far nobody is listening….

Afraid not. The people are the REDEMPTION-1 group with their positions randomly moved +/- 1 degree of lat/long. You are an independent generic rebel.

Mexico is hard. The sanitary department does not like imports. It’s flowing into Mexico from north of the Rio Grande

This site’s traffic looks like this

With the British Virgin Islands the latest addition

Wow! That’s the pitts, Interferon and Ribavirin is such a brutal tx I didn’t know anyone was still using it. Pobrecitos! Much appreciated information Doc!
