But look, it really does say no access criteria, and posted to your door direct by AbbVie. This is pretty good news for a lot of people.

” There would be no access criteria or restrictions for funded access to Viekira Pak
and Viekira Pak-RBV……………
In the case of Viekira Pak/Viekira Pak-RBV, it is proposed that a direct distribution
mechanism would be funded and managed by AbbVie Ltd and that the dispensing and
distribution of Viekira Pak/Viekira Pak-RBV would be as follows:
 In order to access funded treatment, in both the Community and in DHB Hospitals, a
request form specifying, amongst other matters, an address for delivery, along with a
prescription would be sent to PHARMAC’s Hep C Coordinator for processing.
 The Hep C Coordinator would then pass on the prescription and delivery address to
the distributor (and dispensing pharmacy) arranged by AbbVie Ltd. Patient
information would remain confidential between PHARMAC, the pharmacy and the
distributor to ensure that patient information is not disclosed to AbbVie Ltd.
 Viekira Pak/Viekira Pak-RBV would be delivered to the patient at the address
specified in the request form.
 AbbVie Ltd, would be required to ensure that patient counselling is offered by a
health professional to patients requiring advice and support on taking their Viekira

Today I got an email from Pharmac, in response to a submission I sent, the day before I heard the momentous news about generics, last September. I’m G3 and was contemplating how to raise the money for the harvoni I was told I should take. 5 minutes on the internet showed me it should be sof /dac not sof/ led for me, particularly if it meant selling everything we have to get it.

Good Afternoon,

Kind regards,

So it looks like there will be a range of options for GT1’s, but still no even mention of daclatisvir or anything as useful for GT3’s. Kiwis could make submissions

Buyers club could start selling DAA’s as hair growth promotion and make a billion dollars! or 30 ! illy:' />

Every country who signs up is called an investor state. There is an arbitration and dispute settlement process, between corporations and governments, who those corporations think are infringing their right to do, whatever, to make money in that governments country. It’s unacceptable to most legal systems because there is no appeal process, at all. none. The small group of appointed corporate lawyers who run it take turns to prosecute and adjudicate.They can set fines in the tens of millions.

Wisdom with humour as ever Gaj.

How about after HCV, does that risk subside? And, I get the message that there is an associated risk, but I can’t quantify it:
On a scale of slightly worse than not doing it, to really going to slay the liver and an absolute no-no, where does it sit? Because there is the same balancing of quality of life etc as there is over the occasional alcoholic drink or unhealthy food or any choice we make.

I am bumping this back up because it is one of the links I copy and paste the most when ‘informing’ (hassling) media, politicians, doctors, and my poor lecturers. It shocks and shuts up everyone as their first objection forms. I usually preface it with ” not double, not triple, not ten times but 19.1…”
