Hepatitis C, which afflicts some 150 million people globally, often without symptoms for years, can cause fatigue and fever, cirrhosis or liver cancer. The pill, known as Sovaldi, or generically as sofosbuvir, costs $84,000 for a standard 12-week course of treatment.
The courses of treatment for hepatitis C are completely dependent on which type of hepatitis C one is harboring. There are six genotypes of hepatitis C and some are easier to treat than others. In general, the treatment of hepatitis C involves a combination of two to three medications, typically including interferon, administered for at least 12 weeks.
