Treatment & Types of Hepatitis C in Koramangala, Bengaluru, Karnataka
Modern treatment relies on direct-acting antiviral medications taken orally for eight to twelve weeks, which cure the infection in the large majority of patients with minimal side effects. Treatment is generally recommended for essentially all patients with chronic hepatitis C, regardless of the stage of liver disease, given the high success rate and improving accessibility of these medications. Patients who already have significant liver scarring or cirrhosis at the time of diagnosis require ongoing monitoring for liver cancer even after successful viral cure.
