Hepatitis C drug is gaining prominence in the healthcare sector to treat patients with hepatitis C viral infection that affect liver

 


Hepatitis and Hepatitis C are two of the most common forms of hepatitis and both are caused by different viral strains. Various companies are involved in developing a new drug for treating Hepatitis C due to the growing patient pool. The disease is caused by a virus that can be transmitted from person to person and can be acquired either through ingesting an infected person's blood or inhaling their infected air. Hepatitis is caused by a strain of the virus which is not transmitted from one person to another and is caused by a genetic defect.

Hepatitis is caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), while hepatitis C is caused by a variety of different strains of the virus called HCV. Hepatitis can be caused by a single strain of the virus, although some cases have been known to be caused by multiple strains. It is also possible for a person to contract one form of the virus, then develop a secondary infection which is caused by another form of the virus. Many times, the patient who has contracted both types of the virus may be able to clear up the symptoms of the primary infection with just a short amount of time and this has led to a new generation of Hepato-Cures being developed.

Hepatitis can be treated with antibiotics which will help to reduce the inflammation of the liver and other parts of the body hepatitis C drugs can be classified into Ribavirin, Direct-acting antivirals, Protease inhibitor antiviral medications (NS3/4A inhibitors), Protease inhibitors (NS5A inhibitors), and Nucleotide/nucleoside and nonnucleoside polymerase inhibitors (NS5B inhibitors). All these drugs effectively ease the symptoms of Hepatitis C virus (HCV).

Hepatitis treatment often involves changing diet and is often prescribed by a Liver specialist, often a diet that is very low in fat and cholesterol is prescribed in an attempt to help reduce weight and cholesterol levels in an attempt to stop further infections of the liver.

German hospitals have a high healthcare regulatory standard imposed by the government. Moreover, all hospitals in Germany are well equipped with transparent price policy which offers an opportunity for the patient to plan the cost of therapy in advance.
