Q&A - Dr. David Dies: Are there treatments for hepatitis C?
We have wonderful treatments for hepatitis C. We have oral-based therapy, which is tablets. You could take one tablet a day or three tablets a day for anywhere from 8 weeks up into 12 weeks and in some cases 16 weeks. They’re very effective with very few side effects. These tablets are very easily tolerated, and the cure rate is very high: between 95 and 100 percent. We cure almost everyone.
