$$$$$$$??????????

Finally glad to know that the drug for the hep c approved but the meanwhile became frown when saw the price for the drug...after a decade there was a hope that i could do the treatment but it's too expensive that only the rich people can afford...whereas i'm living in south east asia, so i guess it would be just a dream for me to do treatment coz i don't know when it will be available incivek in near to my country called india.....i'm just down....

I'm not a doctor and can only try to help point you to other options you may not know about... All options should be discussed with a doctor ..

Are you a national, born in India ? What part of India are you in ? Big city ? Rural farming area ? If you are Native from India ... you have a chance to be accepted for a trial ...
if not born in India.. no way ... one poster here , English living in india for over 30 years was not allowed ....

If you search online Clinical Trials ... you may find an option right for you ... it takes some time but you will find allot of info and answers to your questions ... most are in big cities ...

Riders , these clinical trails are an option to possibly receive experimental treatment for free or they may pay you as you will be a test subject ... However they do not always work out well.

You really should take some time and research the net in english if you can, or in your native language .. And talk to a Hep C specialist doctor there ...

I would find the clinical trial location from the link or Clinical Trials site & contact them ... all the contact info is listed on each clinical trial ... there are many trials .. and there is allot to be aware of as these "trials" are just that ... The manufacturer try to get there discovery drug tested on humans and approved for sale to the public .

Good luck  & Good health ! Aaron

I'm Tx in SE Asia (indonesia) the soc cost here is much less than the Developed countries ... maybe it will be also for the new drugs ....

You might check the price there first ... or maybe consider a clinical trial .. there are a few for HCV taking place in India.
