Any hcv patient from turkey planning to start harvoni
« on: December 20, 2014, 06:12:41 pm »
Hi everyone
I am 37 year old woman from turkey , i learned i have hcv on 2011. I must have got hcv it between 2009 and 2011  during medical operations ( in 2008 and 2009 i had anti hcv tests negative)  my geno 1b , with hcv rna less than 600,000. My liver enzymes are high ( alt and ast around 100 ) i am planning to start harvoni treatment although its not yet available in turkey. I wonder whether there is anyone from turkey and as i will have the treatment in turkey , most doctors dont know yet bout harvoni. Would you pls advice me about which blood tests should be followed before and during treatment other than liver panel and viral load. And one more question i learned that 1 box harvoni 28 tb is 22600 euro in germany. Is there any other country that its cheaper? As i am geno 1b and having viral load less than a million and treatmnent naive 2 box meaning 8 weeks treatment will be ok for me i hope. Pls some ideas thanks everyone and hope all of us will get rid of hcv as soon as possible .

Based on what I was told by ELPA President, the cheapest medication is in France at 13,000 euros per box, as French Government is funding 5,000 euros per box. Sweden is supposedly number two.

Europe is so behind in organized treatment of this, and insurance companies are having a hard time digesting the cost.

Thk you nino very much four information
Do you know whether that price is available only for french citizens or can i fly to france with valid prescr. And buy 3 bixes of harvoni for 39000 euro and turn back.
Hope you will find a solution for your mom and hope everyone will get rid of this virus soon.
