Hi doctor,
I am a 57-year-old female. I have had a hepatitis C infection that has remained undiagnosed for the last 15 years. I was recently got diagnosed with chronic liver disease. I want to know which drug is better to treat my condition. My doctor has suggested Sofosbuvir, an antiviral drug, but I have heard a lot about interferon to treat hepatitis C infection. What do you suggest is better? Please give me some advice.
Thanks.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
Hepatitis C is a disease that cannot be treated entirely or healed. It can be controlled only with the help of medications, and only symptomatic treatment is given to suppress the symptoms. So, whatever symptoms you have, medicine can be prescribed for them. And as your doctor suggested Sofosbuvir helps control hepatitis C, so you can start taking it. It is the best and has no side effects as well. What symptoms do you have currently? What medications are you taking now?
I hope this information will help you.
Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
