Welcome at HCM i have gone through your query and being your physician I completely understand your health concerns.... Have u stopped inj on doctor advice? In my opinion it should be taken atleast for six months.....as far as PCR is concerned, cure in hcv is defined as by the negative PCR after six months of stopping treatment. This is called SVR. You need to get your hcv PCR after six months.... If it recurs meet your hepatologist and discuss about the sovaldi...... As far as other management is concerned you need to get aldactone along with inderal and syp. Lactulose..... Meet your physician for adjustment of dose.. Get well soon Regards Dr saad sultan
