The Hepatitis C virus contains RNA as its genome that can cause liver injury at the cellular level. Inflammation caused by viruses can progress to lethal conditions such as fibrosis, cirrhosis and cancer. Various direct-acting anti-viral drugs are available in the market in many regions of the world. These drugs work on principle by targeting specific proteins which damage the virus. Many drugs are administered in combination and produce a sustained virological response in 12 weeks. A follow-up research was performed to evaluate 3 months of treatment outcome of some direct-acting antiviral drugs in 131 patients (110 patients of HCV genotype 3) above 50 years and they were compared related to type of genotypes, administration of antiviral drugs, gender and age differences. 115 patients yielded a pooled SVR of more than 85% after twelve weeks of commonly used antiviral drug evaluation. Commonly used antiviral drugs in Sialkot, Pakistan, showed effectiveness in HCV patients having genotypes 1-5.
