Hepatitis C is dramatically increasing in the United States, particularly among younger adults. Hep C cases are 4 times as high as they were 10 years ago. Hepatitis C can cause serious health problems and is the #1 cause of liver transplants and a leading cause of liver cancer.

Hepatitis C, also known as Hep C, is an infection caused by a virus that attacks the liver and leads to inflammation.
Hepatitis C is usually spread through blood, often from injection drug use. Less commonly, Hepatitis C is spread through sex or from an infected mother to her infant during pregnancy or childbirth.
Some people clear the virus, but most people with acute Hepatitis C will develop a long-term (chronic) infection. Left untreated, chronic Hepatitis C can cause severe liver damage, liver cancer, and in some cases death, although Hepatitis C is curable. Treatments are available that can cure Hepatitis C or help prevent further liver damage, cirrhosis, and even liver cancer.
Most people with chronic Hepatitis C will not have symptoms for 20 years or more. Even without symptoms, serious damage to your liver can occur.
Treatments have advanced significantly in the previous decade, and many people can be cured with treatment in 8-24 weeks. Click below to find out more about Senderra's Hepatitis C Specialty Pharmacy options.
