Hepatitis C

Treatment

If you have been diagnosed with hepatitis C infection, your healthcare provider will examine you for liver disease and prescribe medicine to eliminate the virus from your blood. Two medicines are used to treat hepatitis C: interferon and ribavirin. Most health experts advise using both drugs together. The response to treatment varies from individual to individual.
