I am on the new three drug routine. 5 ribavirin a day, 1 injection of pegasys a week, and 1 solvaldi a day. In two weeks, my liver functions are showing as normal, and the hep c viral load is non detectable. This is a 12 week routine, and, so far, I have had no side effects and am continuing to work a full 40 hour week job.

The drugs are not cheap. The entire course costs around $100K, and most insurance companies will not pay for it.  PAN foundation (panfoundation.org) gave me money for the co pays ($457 a month), but I suggest your ask your doctor to see if they have a fund to cover the rest.

It is working for me. Hope it works for you!

I decided to post an easy to find PDF description of this newest drug by Gilead Sciences. This will assist those searching the forum database as well as boosting it's search engine position via the forum.
