I understand your concern for your brother's wife. The goal of HCV treatment is to cure the virus, which can be done with a combination of drugs. The specific medications to be used and the duration of treatment depend on a number of factors. There are a number of approved therapies to treat HCV, which include: 1. Harvoni - sofosbuvir/ledipasvir, 2. Daklinza - daclatasvir, 3. Olysio - simeprevir, 4. Sovaldi - sofosbuvir, 5. Technivie and Viekira Pak. Kindly consult Physician for proper evaluation and appropriate treatment upon assessment. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
