A Cheaper Hepatits C Drug in the near Future?

According to recent research conducted at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, Simeprevir-based drugs could offer patients, particularly those who are pinched for money in developing nations, an alternative treatment for Hepatitis C (aptly summarized in the headline "Simeprevir-based therapy offers patients in developing countries a cost-effective alternative in treatment of hepatitis C"). 

Simeprevir is a protease inhibitor, which enables the deactivation of viral proteins. When taken once a day in conjuction with both ribavirin and interferon, HCV (hep C virus infection) can be treated. This combo drug will be commercially available as telaprevir with interferon and ribavarin.

Though other treatment options for Hep C exist, the unique benefit of this drug is its cost-effectiveness. Simpereveir, which is manufactured and marketed by Janssen Pharmaceuticals, provides the drug many HCV sufferers in the developing world need. Indeed, HCV often disproportionately affects the socioceonomically challenged segments of the population. 

The study, which was led by Dr. Rajender Reddy, is to be published early next year in the January 2010 issue of The Lancet Infectious Diseases. The study that confirmed the potency of what Reddy and his team members thought to be an effective antiviral cocktail was a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind study on 763 adult sufferers of HCV.

Health wise, I feel like a child dancing in the rain ever since I got cured of hepatitis. I was diagnosed of HEPATITIS B and I was told it has no cure at the hospital, but I was given several antiviral medications to slow the virus’s ability to damage liver. But after sometime the medicine wasn't working and I became very sick with different symptoms like: vomiting, fatigue, dark urine, swollen stomach and so on. I went back to the hospital and I was told it has become chronic with liver problem, and out of frustration I went online to search for something new to try, and I came across Dr. IYABIYE's recommendation, I gave it a try hence it's a herbal medicine. And behold, I was cured after the treatment. I have to wait for months then went back to the hospital and still I was tested negative. You too will be cured.

I’m here to testify about what DR. ISIBOR did for me. I have been suffering from (GENITAL HERPES VIRUS) disease for the past 3 years and had constant pain and inching, especially in my private part. During the first year, I had faith in God that i would be cured someday.This disease started circulating all over my body and I have been taking treatment from my doctor, few weeks ago I came across a testimony of Rose Smith on the internet testifying about a Man called DR. ISIBOR on how he cured her from 7 years HSV 2. And she also gave the email address of this man, advise anybody to contact him for help on any kind of diseases that he would be of help, so I emailed him telling him about my (HSV 2) he told me not to worry that I was going to be cured!! Well, I never doubted him I have faith he can cure me too,, DR. ISIBOR prepared and sent me Healing Oil, Soap, roots and herbs which I took. In the first one week, I started experiencing changes all over me, after four weeks of using his Roots/ Herbs, Oil and Soap, I was totally cured. no more inching , pain on me anymore as DR. ISIBOR assured me. After some time I went to my doctor to do another test behold the result came out negative. So friends my advise is if you have such disease or know anyone who suffers from it or any other disease like HPV, HIV, ALS, CANCER etc. you can contact DR. ISIBOR for help via email} drisiborspellhome@gmail.com or call +2348107855231

Happiness is all i see now I never thought that I will be cured from HERPES virus again. I have been suffering from a deadly disease (HERPES) for the past 3 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how DR agaba helped someone in curing his HERPES disease, quickly I copied his email which is Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on : Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com or WhatApp: +2349074536486
