If I understood correctly, Dac is just slightly better than Led in types 1 and 4. And we already knew that type 3 has to use Dac.
So the evidence is in …
Daclatasvir is the pan-genotypic choice.
And now AbbVie is getting high success rates WITHOUT Sofosbuvir !!!

The actual importation should be easy at this point, just find a reliable seller and order it in. The Bangladesh companies seem to have the best prices right now. Alimul Razi from Incepta, (Parvez on this forum), has been particularly helpful. We have reports of successful purchase from all four Bangladesh companies.
For a slightly higher price, you can join the REDEMPTION eTrials and use MonkMed’s sevices. MonkMed likely has a list of Drs. in the UK that will order tests for you, or you could go the route of using independent testing facilities. And you get the services of MonkMed’s Indian doctors for advisory purposes included in the price. There are some people here on the forum from the UK that have used the independent testers. Likely they’ll show up here and advise you.
Also, there are many companies out there that will put you together with specialists around the world, as a quick search of “medical tourism” will turn up. For example I searched on a site called WhatClinic.com to find a dentist in Sofia, Bulgaria, to do some emergency dental work for me …. I’m in Sofia right now, it’s a nice place. The site has gastroenterologists on their lists.
Bulgaria and Poland are only a quick flight away, and on WizzAir or RyanAir it’s inexpensive it you can travel light.
I searched this site, https://www.health-tourism.com to find my gastro Dr in Thailand. There are many such sites.
I think I remember a member from the UK jumping over to Spain to find a monitoring Doctor. My point is this …. Don’t let the stubbornness of the UK medical system stop you … You can do this.
With the expected new traffic, this thread should probably get bumped up every so often.

Kingswood will ship to the US … but they need an Australian script.
If you have all the necessary info/tests … blood work, fibroscan (or other indicator of fibrosis level), current medications list and other current medical issues … you can get a skype style consultation at GP2U.com.au … ~US$70. This can be forwarded to the Sydney pharmacy …. others here have done it.
Enkel … now my gut hurts …. from laughing.
This is the best forum ever.

Well, the data is being compiled by a Hep C advocacy group not marketers. There is an earlier version of this list somewhere on this site but I had lost the link and couldn’t hunt it down. Thanks Darbara!
Edit: I found it now that I have the address.
Here’s my old post …
http://fixhepc.com/forum/media-news/303-availability-and-pricing-of-generics-india.html#2610and here’s the four month old list for only Sof.
https://testandtreathepatitisc.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/finindian-generic-sofosbuvir-summary_15sep-10-version.pdfEdit 2: Another reason for the price drop …. in the four month old list they used an exchange rate of 62 rupees/dollar … new list uses 65/1.
Ya, seeing as you’re the one person that knows how crazy my idea is.
Mike knows an earlier version of it.
I don’t believe we need to worry about #2. The mad scramble for market share is pushing prices down and the actual manufacturing costs are still far below the retail prices we’re seeing. There are so many generics companies at this point that when they all get fully up to speed there will be no shortages. And there are so many people out there needing the meds that I doubt we’ll be seeing any of those manufacturers dropping out anytime soon.
#1 will only end when generic competition forces the issue.
As for what individuals can do, I agree that the first and most important is telling people you personally know … but I also understand the stigma issues and can’t fault people who are afraid to do that.
I’m actually working on an idea that has the potential to get the word out to millions, and because of the nature of the method it implies a type of authority that sensors will respond to … but it has a high likelihood of failure, so I’m not telling too many people yet so as not to get expectations too high. (I need some key people to agree to help and may need more money than I’ll be able to find to pull it off.)(and I may need to find some time to fly to Bulgaria.)
Well …. I wouldn’t normally be trying to put a country selection in the Jukebox, but at the immediate time it seems appropriate ….

Well, I don’t know how long it will take to get answers about your grants and all, but if you have your blood work, your fibroscan score, and your info on other medical conditions and current medications along with about $1400-1600 you can be on the REDEMPTION eTrials within a couple weeks. If you have a cooperative doctor who will write you your prescription you can order your own meds and be on treatment within 5-10 days for as little as $850 plus shipping (Sof/Dac) or ~$1200 (Sof/Led). There are lots of options to fit everybody’s particular situations. Read about the REDEMPTION eTrials and look through the Pharma’s Market.
Read the “Getting Treated” tab above and then start working through the relevant parts of the forum. The “Patient Stories” section should give you all the confidence you need to go forward. And if you have questions just ask.
You’re at the right place. This is the site to find your treatment.
