Gen 3 is sometimes harder to treat and vosevi had three elements in it which thankfully helped πŸ™πŸΌ

My husband still had 26 at 8 weeks but with vosevi was undetected after 4 weeks, so we were worried as this would have been the latest medication to have, only came out last July in uk I think, just pleased its worked, just got to go for a liver scan in July now as fibroscan was 8.9 a year ago.

Hi apart from being tired he had leg aches and headaches, his job is hard to but he did well and didn’t take time off, works in construction, also did not want to socialise with anyone much, he lost his father in beteeen everything and that didn’t help as I found him to get irritated quickly, as much as they say there are no side effects I think there are, he has a very bloated stomach now, he did take both medicines over 10 months, but hopefully over time will feel himself again.
