Branded Harvoni® for hepatitis C has historically been one of the most expensive medicines in the world. This guide explains how to buy affordable sofosbuvir/ledipasvir — the generic equivalent of Harvoni — online from a licensed international pharmacy, what affects the price, and how to order safely with a valid prescription. This medicine should always be used as prescribed by a licensed medical professional; this article is for general information only.
What is sofosbuvir/ledipasvir (generic Harvoni)?
Sofosbuvir with ledipasvir is the active combination in Harvoni®, a direct-acting antiviral (DAA) regimen prescribed as a defined course for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Generic versions contain the same active ingredients at the same 400 mg / 90 mg strengths, produced by licensed pharmaceutical manufacturers. See our sofosbuvir page or the full generic Harvoni comparison.
Why branded Harvoni is expensive — and why the generic costs less
Branded Harvoni carried the originator’s research and marketing costs under patent protection. The arrival of licensed generics — often produced under licence in countries such as India and Egypt — made hepatitis C treatment far more affordable worldwide. The active ingredients and strengths are the same; the difference is cost.
How much does this regimen cost around the world?
Indicative branded pricing (generic sofosbuvir/ledipasvir costs a tiny fraction of this):
- United States: branded Harvoni around US$94,500 for a 12-week course.
- United Kingdom: roughly £39,000 per course at brand prices.
- Australia: subsidised in-country; generic far lower for self-pay.
Actual generic pricing depends on course length and pack — see the product pages.
