Are Pangenotypic Treatments for Hepatitis C All the Same?

Over the years, treatment options for hepatitis C have improved significantly, including pangenotypic medications used to treat all genotypes (virus strains), including subtypes. Typically, pan-genotypic treatments have high cure rates, few side effects, and short treatment times (usually 8-12 weeks).

What is a pangenotypic hep C treatment?

Pangenotypic means a treatment that works on all genotypes (virus strains) of hepatitis C. The design of each pangenotypic treatment has certain chemical properties that will work on more than one genotype at the same time and have a high rate of efficiency targeting on specific liver conditions.
