Treatment of chronic hepatitis C patients has evolved significantly in the past 15 years. With a better knowledge of viral kinetics and molecular virology of the hepatitis C virus, we have gone from a low chance of viral eradication to a chance as high as 50%. Despite this, current therapies are not ideal and are associated with side effects, complications, and poor patient tolerability. Therefore, an urgent need to look for better strategies to treat this disease is imperative. Thanks to the current knowledge and ongoing research, we know the way we treat hepatitis C today will change dramatically in the next 5–10 years. This review will focus on current therapies for hepatitis C and the most recent advances in the search for new therapies.
