The word hepatitis generically just means liver disorder/damage.  And I think the term - medically anyway - is associated with a toxic liver.  The Hep c virus is transferable by blood, mostly from dirty needles.  Check out the CDC and The Mayo clinic website for Hep info. they are pretty good.

no you dont get hep c from pills and im sorry to hear about your sister that is horrible but a bad liver and hep c are different but yes pills will def cause your liver to go bad especially if you are taking pills with tylenol and abusing them because tylenol is HORRIBLE for your liver
