Most people with this serious liver disease can be cured with one tablet, taken once a day for 8, 12, or 24 weeks. The pill, a combination of the drugs sofosbuvir and ledipasvir, is called Harvoni. Its high price tag, about $1,000 per tablet, may make it a hard pill to swallow for whoever pays the bill. Doctors will screen candidates to make sure they give up alcohol and promise to take the medicine exactly as prescribed. Other options include a combination of Sovaldi, Olysio (simeprevir), interferon, and/or Rebetol (ribavirin). more
