These medications:
- Block the virus from replicating in the liver
- Clear the virus from the body in 8 to 12 weeks
- Have over a 95% cure rate
- Cause fewer side effects than older treatments like interferon
DAAs are the gold standard for Hepatitis C treatment today, offering a fast, safe, and highly effective path to a cure.
