The latest hepatitis C treatment involves only pills, offering shorter durations, fewer side effects, and high success rates.
Key Points
- Hepatitis C is treatable and can be cured.
- Without treatment, the infection often becomes lifelong for most individuals.
- Effective treatments to eliminate hepatitis C are available.
- Starting treatment early helps prevent severe issues like liver damage, liver cancer, and death.
- If diagnosed with hepatitis C, consult your doctor promptly to begin treatment without delay.
- Discover ways to protect your liver and prevent spreading hepatitis C to others.
Treatment for Hepatitis C
There have been new advances in treatment for hepatitis C, including highly effective medications that show the majority of people can be cured. Treatment is also easier than in the past because it usually involves pills only (no injections), there are fewer side effects, and treatment typically takes only 8-12 weeks.
Hepatitis C Treatment: Things to Consider
- There is a good chance treatment can cure hepatitis C, meaning after treatment, the virus is no longer present in your body. If you're cured, you can no longer pass the virus on to others, but it's important to take steps to prevent getting re-infected.
- Treatment works best when you take all of the pills on schedule. If you skip or miss some pills, treatment may not cure you. Think about how you can adhere to your medications before starting treatment.
- If you are HIV-positive, getting treated for hepatitis C can improve your overall health, make your HIV medications more effective, and increase HIV treatment options.
- Some people may be initially denied access to treatment based on drug or alcohol use or degree of liver damage. If you are denied access to treatment by your insurance company, you have the right to an appeal!
How much will I have to pay for treatment?
Even though HCV guidelines now only recommend oral DAA treatment, the high price of these medicines means that in many countries they are only available to people who have advanced liver damage. Luckily, hepatitis C treatment is affordable at Pulse Clinic.
The cost will include:
- Doctor consultation fee
- Complete blood test (including HCV viral load, HCV genotyping, complete liver function, and kidney function)
- Medications (prescribed by our doctor)
- Continuous medical follow-ups

Treatment Side-Effects
The latest medications for treating hepatitis C have significantly fewer side effects and are generally well-tolerated. Common side effects, such as fatigue, headache, insomnia, and nausea, are rare and usually mild. It’s essential to be aware of potential side effects and inform your doctor if they occur. Healthcare providers can assist in minimizing and managing any side effects you may experience.
What is meant by the term ‘cure’?
A ‘cure’ is indicated by a sustained viral response at week 12 after treatment(i). Your doctor will order a PCR viral load test 12 weeks after treatment finishes, and if the results show ‘virus undetectable’ (no virus) it means that you have successfully cleared the virus and there is no hep C in your body. Some doctors will order a further PCR viral load test 24 weeks after treatment.
Hepatitis C Home Test Kit
If you are sexually active or have injected drugs, even once, you should consider getting tested. A negative result might provide you peace of mind and help you take precautions to reduce your risk. If you test positive, you may take steps to prevent transmission, learn how to care for your liver, and talk to your doctor about treatment choices.
At PULSE Clinic, we offer a Home Rapid HCV (hepatitis C virus) Test Kit, which you can easily order online and have sent to your doorstep!

After Treatment
Once you have been cured of hep C, your body will continue to make antibodies for ten years or more. Antibodies are produced as a part of your body’s natural defence system against infections. Having hep C antibodies does not mean you still have hep C. If your PCR test is still negative 3 months after completing treatment, the virus is no longer in your body. It is important to remember that while the antibodies remain in your blood, this does not protect you against getting Hep C again. You should avoid blood-to-blood contact with others (including sharing injecting equipment) so you do not catch Hep C again. Most people will start to feel better during treatment for hep C.

There is no vaccine to prevent hepatitis C. The most effective way to avoid infection is by steering clear of activities that may expose you to the virus.
If you suspect you’ve been exposed to hepatitis C, it’s crucial to get tested and start treatment promptly. This helps protect your health and prevents spreading the virus to others.
