The proportion of subjects who permanently discontinued treatment due to adverse events was 0%, less than 1%, and 1% for subjects receiving Harvoni for 8, 12, and 24 weeks, respectively. The most common adverse reactions (at least 10%) were fatigue and headache in subjects treated with 8, 12, or 24 weeks of Harvoni.
Patients take the drug for 12 to 24 weeks, and it cures over 95 percent. Harvoni: Approved October 2014. Harvoni is a combination of sofosbuvir (Sovaldi) and ledipasvir. The drug cured more than 90 percent of patients with hepatitis C type 1, the most common form in the United States, after 12 weeks of treatment.Some patients who have not taken antiviral drugs before can be cured in eight weeks.ere's the problem: The newer hepatitis C drugs are super-expensive. Harvoni rings in at $1,125 per pill, or $94,500 for a 12-week course of treatment, and other new medications are nearly as pricey. Insurers are scrambling to figure out how to pay for treatment without breaking the bank.
