Good Day, Night, Evening everybody!

I m posting here, because i can see that there is a group of peoples that acctualy helps each other:)

So i have pretty bad situation!
my mom have C hepatitis and she is gen 1st.
I m really happy to hear about that i can purchase more cheaper drugs from India.
My mom already have tried standart curring course fro cepatitis C with Ribavirin and something else, but the problem is that despite of all side effects, my mothers health system doesnt accept that medicine, and she got allergy from that.

Our country doctors (We come from Latvia) only recomendation was a generics sovaldi, for 80000EUROS!!!! (my year sallary is ~8000EUR) so this is pretty unreal.

So according to previous posts, can somebody tell me wich medicine you have bought from india, from where did you bought it and mybe share some results.

I find those 3 below by myself, acctualy i dont know what i the difference between them mybe somebody  else who have made much more bigger research can give me advice. Also sorry about my bad english:)

Question 4. What is the Q80K polymorphism?

The Q80K polymorphism is a naturally occurring amino acid substitution of glutamine to lysine at NS3 codon 80. It is found in 30% to 50% of HCV genotype 1a infected patients and in 0.5% of genotype 1b patients.6 Clinical studies have shown that when subjects with HCV genotype 1a have this polymorphism at baseline, the efficacy of simeprevir in combination with PEG and ribavirin is substantially reduced.6 Consequently, alternative therapy should be considered for such patients.6
