Yep, and in 2012 Gilead refused to participate in the Phase 3 trials for Sof/Dac with BMS that had progressed through earlier stages under Pharmasett. BMS eventually went it alone.

Which is how Harvoni came into being for GT1 patients even though it’s quite possible Dac may be the superior drug.

The Insurers wouldn’t dare risk upsetting drug companies they are in the same business, making money.
The monthly meds seems like a good idea though, may have to add a few more bucks for handling cost’s $20 maybe but losing the odd one wouldn’t hurt too much for many. hmmm

I have been wondering for a while why Sof and Dac isn’t used more for GT1 and figured it was Gilead pushing BMS out and not wanting to collaborate. Actually my specialist told me in 2011 that there was a drug combo that was near perfect but the companies won’t work together. I am guessing he meant Sof and Dac, that was after I failed the Dac Peg and Riba trial.

These are what is required from your Doctor if he is writing the script.
You should ask for (this is 12 weeks treatment)
Sofosbuvir 400 mg od x 84
Dalcatasvir 60 mg od x 84OR (Harvoni generic components)
Sofosbuvir 400 mg od x 84
Ledipasvir 90 mg od x 84If you need 24 weeks ask for the same as above + 1 repeat
If you need Riba you need 1000 mg daily if < 75 kg and 1200 mg daily if > 75 kg
Ribavirin 1000 mg daily in 2 divided doses x 84 days
Ribavirin 1200 mg daily in 2 divided doses x 84 daysYou can get the script and download the authorisation agreement

Thanks for that Doc it felt like I was reading brief history of time again
Let me see if I get this point right regarding Riba in DAA resistant patients. It bumps up the chances of achieving SVR ?
CThanks Do

Ahaa access to the delete button
I have been asked in the past to help moderate online forums and always declined but in this case I accepted because I believe that treating this illness is hugely important and if I can help in any way I am glad too.
Thanks for the good wishes guys .

I agree with Mike in that our government here is as weak as but if some vets in the US got access to life saving meds in a foreign land that would severly embarass the insurers, hep orgs, the FDA and most of all big pharma and the US govt.. It wouldn’t need to be from a charitable fund possibly a US benefactor or media org could fit the bill for a few airfares and some generics for a good story. The key to kick this along is getting policy changed in the USA.

Sof and Dac the best I think but marketing and greed will see Dac leaft out of the licensed picture at some point.

Zion Yisrael to Hepatitis C
6 mins · Detroit, MI, United States ·Good Morning! Met with VA clinic yesterday, seems that funding became available. However, there’s only enough for 8 patients. There were between 12 to 16 at the meeting needing treatment, the lucky 8 find out tomorrow, the others have to wait.
That being said, I read our postings and despite the seriousness of our situation, the disregard of compassion by Gilead and the entangling red tape of bureaucracy, we still are a jovial bunch with some VERY humorous postings on compliance and defiance! This is the BEST group on FB! Have a blessed day!Hmmm
