New Cure For Hepatitis C Heals 90% of Patients
The pills not only wipe out the virus in nine of ten patients who suffer from the disease, they also restore liver function.
When attacked by the virus the liver gets scarred or even cancer as a result, making hepatitis C the leading cause of liver transplantation in the United States.
In just 12 weeks, the new drug treatment can cure advanced cases of the disease and eliminate the need for a transplant.
The treatment involves a combination of two drugs — sofosbuvir and velpatasvir — in a single pill.
