Latest medicine for HCV
Can anybody tell what is latest treatment and duration of for HCV (3a genotype). I am from Pakistan
I believe the 2 newest meds that were approved in the US were Vosevi and Mavyret. I don't know what meds are approved right now in Pakistan. I think that sometimes some drugs are approved in some countries and not in others. These drugs are pan-genotropic. Not sure if I'm saying that right. Anyhow, what that means is that they covered multiple genotypes, like Geno 1-6. If you google them, you can find out more details about them.
