Solvadi & Ribavirin

Solvaldi & Ribavirin could work together. Has anyone heard anything about this ?  Also you can go to Web MD & qualify for a $ 5.00 Co-pay for a six month supply. This regiment,  S& R is a 12 week program !  Gilead is giving to those that can't afford $ 1000.00 a pill . 12 week treatment for solvadi alone would be Eighty four thousand dollars !

Hi thanks so much for this information, I was wondering how to differentiate between the different tx's for different geno types.  The sovaldi site was really helpful

Hi Elaina
Welcome to the forum.
Go to Solvaldi's web site http://www.sovaldi.com and sign up for Support path. My doctors gave me a packet about Sovaldi and the pharmacy did the process for me so I am paying 5 dollars for each month or 15 total for the medicine for 12 weeks. Web MD is a great site for information about medical conditions but not where to go to get Sovaldi copay assistance.
See your dr hopefully you are seeing a gastroenterologist or better a hepatologist they will be up to speed on the new treatments and which would be best in your case.
You did not mention your genotype or if you have cirrhosis or if you have previously treated. all that will help your dr determine what is the best treatment for you.
Good luck

Welcome to the Hep C Forum!

A number of the members here are on this treatment (including my husband).
Sovaldi in combination with ribavirin is one of the amazing treatments that clears this virus in a short period of time. How can we put a price tag on that!
It is wonderful that there are opportunities for everyone to be able to afford this treatment.

Good luck.
