What are the 2 drugs used to cure hepatitis C?

Pegylated interferon (injection) to boost immune system, and ribavirin (pills) to stop the replication of the virus. These are given over a 24 - 48 week period, depending on the genotype. Hope this helps. Source(s): HCV educator, advocate, & survivor
Interferon alpha is really the only way Hep C can be treated. Drugs made from this have several different names.
