An overview of  Hepatitis C Medication Prices.

Cheap Hepatitis C Treatment is now within the reach of most people

Sofosbuvir 400 mg + Velpatasvir 100 mg:  Epclusa  price: US$750    

Sofosbuvir 400 mg+ Ledipasvir 90 mg : Harvoni price: US$750

Sofosbuvir 400 mg + Daclatasvir 60 mg price: US$550

Hepatitis C medication prices can be a little confusing with the price for “brand” versions of the various Hepatitis C medications as high as US$85,000 for Epclusa while the price of generic Epclusa can be as low as US$750 for a 12 weeks treatment. The high price of Hepatitis C treatment is a major barrier blocking access to Hep C treatment for many people around the world. While the low price of  the Indian versions of Epclusa causes concerns about quality.

The fact is that Hepatitis C medication prices in the USA and Europe are artificially high because of price gouging by the US based manufacturers. But the good news is that there are cheaper alternatives that give identical cure rates.

The existence of non-brand (generic) versions of these medicines means that there is an affordable treatment option for people with Hepatitis C who can not afford the high price of  Harvoni and Epclusa.  People looking for cheap Hepatitis C medication should remember that these non-branded versions of Epclusa and Harvoni are chemically identical to brand versions  with exactly the same cure rates. Further more, licensed generic Hepatitis C medication is manufactured under license and supervision from Gilead Sciences in FDA and WHO approved facilities.

The reason that non-branded Hep C treatment is so cheap is because Harvoni and Epclusa are actually not expensive to manufacture. The high prices for the brand versions are only so high because of the huge profit margins put on these medications by their manufacturer.

The actual cost of making these new Hep C medications is less than US$80 for a 12 week treatment. If you would like to know more about the history of Hepatitis C drug prices click this link.

For current prices of Hepatitis C medications please read on.

The cost of generic Hepatitis C medication is determined by the type of medication you require. Different genotypes of Hepatitis C are treated with different combinations of Hep C drugs (These new Hep C medicines are known as Direct Acting Antivirals or DAAs). Here I will list briefly the three main choices of Hepatitis C treatment and their prices. For more detailed information please use the links provided to go to the page specific to each medicine.

The Price of Epclusa

Epclusa (Sofosbuvir 400 mg + Velpatasvir 100 mg) is currently the most effective treatment for Hepatitis C genotype 3.

Epclusa will also effectively treat all other genotypes of Hepatitis C.

Licensed Epclusa from India will cost US$750 for 12 weeks of treatment (84 pills @ one pill per day) including delivery and shipping insurance.

There are many different brands of Epclusa made in India. They are all chemically identical to brand Epclusa

Harvoni Price

Harvoni (Sofosbuvir 400 mg + Ledipasvir 90 mg) was originally designed to treat Hep C genotype 1. It is generally considered the most effective treatment for Hepatitis C genotype 1 and genotype 4.

Harvoni is not the optimum treatment for any other genotype of Hepatitis C.

The cost of Harvoni from India is US$750 for 12 weeks of treatment. (84 pills @ one pill per day). Learn more about the cost of Harvoni.

The price of Harvoni from India is around US$750 for the standard 12 week treatment

Sofosbuvir + Daclatasvir 

Sofosbuvir 400 mg + Daclatasvir 60 mg is an affordable treatment option that is effective against all genotypes of Hepatitis C.

For all genotypes of Hepatitis C, that is G1, G2, G3, G4 and G5, Sofosbuvir + Daclatasvir is an excellent treatment option that has a significantly lower price than other Hepatitis C medications. It is as effective against G1 as Harvoni and as effective as Epclusa for Genotype 2. The cost of generic Sofosbuvir + Daclatasvir is US$550 for 12-weeks of treatment (2 pills per day for 84 days). The only disadvantage of using Sof + Dac is that you need to take two pills together per day instead of one pill per day.

The reason that Sofosbuvir + Daclatasvir is so affordable is that it is a very easy medicine combination to manufacture.
