User Reviews for Harvoni oral

Hi my name is Tim and I was sceptical at the start of treatment but now having completed the 12 week course and having my results back as all clear I’m so relieved Very mild side effects just a bit of insomnia and mild headache All in all thanks to Esperance family Practice and GILEAD Science ????

HCV pos. for 25 years. 8 weeks Harvoni virus undetected while on treatment. I relapsed when 3 month blood work was performed after last pill was taken

I've been taking this drug for 4 months. Post liver transplant for 9 years and finally got approval for it. Viral load is non detectable. However this is not a miracle drug. It has serious side effects. My joints are so bad I can hardly walk. Feel like I have the flu all the time. Hair is falling out and get blisters in nose and mouth. LDL is risingand platelets are seriously dropping. Could not take anything with Ribavirin but this medicine is doing me just like I did when on Ribavirin. Don't know if these side effects are irreversible but I certainly hope so.Have Stage 4 kidney disease and now that is increasing to a Stage 5. Health was better before taking this medicine.Read More Read Less

I began the treatment after knowing had hep c for 5 yrs and my viral load was over 3 million copies. Within 2 weeks my viral load dropped to 17 !!! I feel so much better and getting more energy and far less lethargy. I encourage anyone who may even suspect that they have gotten this to get treatment.

Other then headaches for last 3 weeks of a 8 week treatment it's showing I'm clear at 3mth post treatment just did 6mth test waiting for results next mth. I hope they bring cost down so it's given to any one in need inner hep c for over 25 yrs I feel so much more energetic then ever

I have had hep c for 16 years. Never knew I had it until I went to donate blood. I was recommended to a great Dr. who used Harvoni treatment. I did an 8 week treatment and had zero side effects. Went for blood tests two weeks after taking it and was already cleared of virus. Now 6 month later I am still cleared of virus. I am so happy with the treatment and my results.

I am just finishing week 8 of 12 week regiment. Was in good shape when I started, work out every day plus work. I have not missed 1 workout or a day of work. At week 4 numbers low and stable, ultrasound showed no significant abnormalities. Very slight headache maybe once a week for very brief time. A little insomnia first week, barely noticed. Have a little of the metel taste it seems but dont know if i am imagining it.I will not know the outcome for sure until final test of course so I am not able to comment full satisfaction with effectives, but numbers were double what the normal ranges are supposed to be.Hoping for the best, no sense being depressed if we're doin our best. Everyone keep up the good work. I will confirm my success with this regiment as soon as it is validated. Thanks,sincerely,Rinfield.Read More Read Less

im on my 5th week. yes i had a few headaches and drowsines accompanied with liver pain. had a 1,800,000 viral load and now down so far to >15. one problem i started having now is sore all over left side of lower belly. also having pale to yellow stools. did anyone have this as well?

I had few headaches and I had some fatigue, but for the most part the 12 week treatment went smoothly. I just had my 3 month follow-up labs and everything went well. I am cured from Hep C. I hope the cost comes down so everyone with this life threatening liver disease can be cured.

Took harvoni treatment and followed treatment a the letter. Didn't work for me the worst part once I took the last pill harvoni stopped caring have send many letters and no response If you happen to be one of the few unlucky ones forget about help from them it'Sally about money

12 week treatment,Harvoni dose taken in the morning, no ill effects, in fact I felt better while taking it than I have for years. No detection of virus at end of treatment

I was diagnosed 37 yrs. ago. Underwent Peg Interferon therapy at first with Ribavirin. Unsuccessful with EXTREME side effects. Stopped Ribavirin., still unsuccessful. I reluctantly began Harvoni ,7/15, with little to no side effects. Finished Harvoni 5 months ago, no sign of virus. Well it's back. Enzymes levels up. Viral load growing. I followed doctors orders. Now my disease is in limbo. Doctors are stuck and researching IF there are any options for me. Depression is hitting very hard, and the 37 yrs. of Hep C has enabled other diseases to take hold. eg cirrhosis, enlarged spleen, Diabetes, fatique, etc. But my heart is good. 61yr old, type 1A female. I would still recommend Harvoni to anyone deliberating.Read More Read Less

I got hep c from a blood transfusion found out in 1998 that I had the anabodies in 2007 I found out that I had chronic hep c I did 2 treatments that never worked I really just gave up on a cure but then came harvoni my wife wanted me to try one more time so I did and now I am cured thanks to my wife and a very good doctor at Hershey medical center . Had some headaches but it was all worth it for those who want a chance at a cure take havoni it works good luck to all who have hep c because I know it's not easy . Read More Read Less

I am 62 and contracted HCV-genotype 1a in 1978. I opted out of other treatments in the past because the success rate was low and treatment long and arduous. I started HARVONI 23 days ago. The first 2 weeks was hard. Nausea, liver pain, no sleep, anxiety to name a few. By D 15 all these sides turned into severe fatigue and brain fog. Day 19-brain fog is clearing and feeling quite well .The end result is all I care about and I have little control of that. We are responsible for the effort, not the outcome. Hoping I'm in the percentage that has SVR.Read More Read Less

I took PegIntron and Riba Five times, once with Victrelis - always the virus broke through. Hope this will do it. So far, much more tole4rable with one pill a day, essentially side-effect free, feel all right.

Has anyone reading this had other health issues before starting Harvoni ? Particularly heart related ?

4 me, no side effect. just 1 pill a day 4 six months. Virus has been a nonedetectable at the end of 4 weeks.

Very costly but I had no side effects period, and I am now hep c free

This makes the second time I have tried this medication . I have not had no luck in being able to finish my treatment plan . My face ,hands and feet swell up really bad .....

Have had Hep C for 40+ years. Did the 12 week regimen. Just got lab results for 12 weeks after stopping treatment. Virus free!!
