    Hi Hazel, getting this work selected and labeled by Anthony Fauci as potential treatment for Covid-19 sure is a big deal, huge kudos to Dr James for his contributions to this work. If the larger trials in Brazil, Egypt and South Africa confirm the results of the small Iranian trial results, Dr James will have every right to put under his Facebook profile “saved the world” :cheer:

    Hi Joy2world, sorry to hear that, however as fitz and Hazel said, your results do not mean that your’re not cured. Please read this blog post by Dr James, it states that

    patients should not be too alarmed if their viral load remains detectable at week 4, or even at end of treatment, as there is still a high likelihood of being cured. When treated with DAAs, having low-level detectable HCV RNA at the end of treatment does not preclude cure.

    He referenced this study as proof (conclusion is on its first page).

    So while it’s not the ideal scenario, you should not feel defeated after getting this test result. Only a test done 12 weeks after end of treatment will tell you for sure if you were cured or not, best of luck.

    Hello Peter, Fitz and Sven gave excellent advice, and I’m glad that you came around after talking to Dr James, a very wise decision. Hopefully you’ll be very happy you took it when you get rid of that terrible virus in a few months.

    Regarding logistics, generic Epclusa that FixHepC supplies is made by the US company Mylan, and it’s produced in India, it’s the only country in the world where licensed versions of generic Epclusa are produced. Well that’s not entirely true, there is an authorized generic available in the US now, but it costs an arm and a leg. Finally, FixHepC ships using DHL Express, not regular post, so there are no issues with delivery during the current circumstances.

    Hi Joy2world, you can be 97% certain that the medication is doing its job, that’s the cure rate for Mavyret. In your case since you don’t have severe liver damage, that certainty is almost 100%. The tests done during treatment are not essential, the only important test is done 12 weeks after finishing treatment. Of course it would be nice to learn that you’re responding well to the medication during treatment, but if that’s not possible due to the current circumstances, don’t sweat it.

    Hi Chris, welcome to the forum and congratulations on starting treatment. Mavyret is an excellent medication with very mild side effects, you shouldn’t be scared at all. You should also be very optimistic about your chances of getting rid of this terrible virus as Mavyret delivers very high cure rates.

    I believe that it’s totally fine to cut the pill into 2 halves on a clean surface if you’re having trouble with its size.

    Here are some recommendations for you to follow during treatment :

    1. Drink plenty of water as it really helps eliminate/minimize any potential side effects.
    2. Take your medication at the same time every day just before or with food, as it helps with the medication absorption.
    3. Try to get enough rest and eat healthy (plenty of fruits and vegetables). There are no foods to be avoided when taking Mavyret.
    4. If you’re currently taking other medications as well, be careful they do not interact with Mavyret. The following webpage will tell you about any potential medication interactions http://www.hep-druginteractions.org/checker

    Additionally, the ‘During Treatment’ section of the FAQs page fixhepc.com/frequently-asked-questions.html has some more detailed information.

    Best of luck with your treatment Chris and keep us updated on your progress.

    Hi Tellietubbie, I believe that these 2 tests are the minimum required to get a prescription.

    ⦁ CBC (Complete Blood Count) – To make sure patient is not too anemic and platelets are good.
    ⦁ CMP (Comprehensive Metabolic Panel) – To know patient’s liver and kidney functions.

    But I’m not a doctor, so if they are not absolutely required, I expect that Dr James will inform us here.

    Hi Tellietubbie and welcome to the forum :)

    Sorry to hear about your previous failed treatment efforts, 37 years is a really long time to live with disease. The good news is that getting cured is now easily possible with the new generation of medication, for an affordable cost using licensed generics, so there is no reason for anyone to keep living with this terrible disease.

    Body itching is one of the most common symptoms of Hep C, and with successful treatment it will disappear quickly (your overall health will greatly improve as a matter of fact).

    If you want to do everything away from the NHS, that is very possible. You can see FixHepC’s founder, Dr James Freeman, online via video conference on GP2U using your phone or PC and get a prescription. He’s a really excellent doctor with vast experience treating Hep C. You have most of the test results needed to book an appointment, but I believe you’re missing 2 very simple and cheap blood tests, CBC (Complete blood count) and CMP (Comprehensive metabolic panel), Dr James will correct me if I’m wrong here. You will need to upload your test results to your GP2U account before the appointment.

    If you need any help using the GP2U service, you can email Jan and she will be happy to help, her email is: admin@gp2u.com.au All the best Tellietubbie.

    Hi Cherr, that’s really great, it’s actually not strange to be undetected after 4 weeks, happens with about 80% of treated patients, the new medications are that awesome. You’re definitely on the right path now for reaching cure, keep taking every pill on time and don’t stop until you finish the very last pill, that’s essential. Really looking forward to hearing news of your cure from Hep C 3 months after you finish treatment :+1: :+1:
