What are the treatment methods of hepatitis C?

Hepatitis C is a common infectious disease in China, which can be transmitted through blood, sex and mother to child. Similar to hepatitis B, hepatitis C may lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer, but unlike hepatitis B, hepatitis C is now a disease that can be cured after formal treatment. The following is the treatment of hepatitis C.

Interferon plus ribavirin was first used to treat hepatitis C in China. In the recovery period of acute hepatitis C, interferon is injected subcutaneously three times a week for one year or even longer, and more than 70% of patients can be cured, which can greatly reduce the number of patients with chronic hepatitis C; If the acute phase is not treated in time, about 60% of the infected people will develop chronic hepatitis C, and the possibility of self-healing in the future is very small.

For chronic hepatitis C, ribavirin tablets should be taken at the same time, such as ribavirin 0. 15g each time, 0.3g each time, 3-4 times a day, so as to reduce gastrointestinal reactions. Compared with the effective rate of interferon alone of about 40%, the curative effect is improved by 10%-20%.
