How do cure hep c?

Answer 1

With regard to hepatitis C, antiviral medications exists that slow the progression of liver damage, and it is vital that you stay away from Alcoholic Beverages.

Answer 2

Hepatitis A is considered self limiting. What that means is that the average person's immune system will clear the infection without much intervention. Hep A is transmitted via fecal-oral route. It's the 'better' one to have if you have to have a viral hepatitis, so to speak.

Answer 3

There's a small chance of curing it. Some medication is used. (ribavirn and PEG-Intron)

There are increasingly effective treatments becoming available that can clear the virus in approximately half those treated. The treatment is usually with a combination of two drugs, interferon and ribavirin. Even if the treatment does not clear the virus, it may still slow down the progression of inflammation and liver damage. Treatment usually lasts for six or twelve months.

The medicines used to treat hepatitis C can have a number of side effects, which are often worse at the beginning of treatment. These side effects may be intolerable for some people. These include flu-like symptoms, such as tiredness, headaches and aches and pains. Other side effects include nausea, depression, and skin rashes.

The medicines are not suitable if you have certain other medical conditions, or are pregnant.

If the virus is cleared with treatment, you are not immune to future infections of hepatitis C. Continuing to inject drugs after taking the medicines risks re-infection.
