Gilead’s hepatitis C drugs to be sold exclusively at CVS

Gilead Sciences Inc. scored an exclusive deal with CVS Health Corp., as its two hepatitis C medicines, Harvoni and Sovaldi, will be available only for CVS customers.

Sovaldi costs $84,000 for a 12-week course of treatment, and Harvoni costs $94,500 for 12 weeks. The drugs will be available in health exchange marketplaces, Medicare Part D, and Medicaid formularies.

Viekira Pak – AbbVie Inc.’s rival combo drug to Harvoni and Sovaldi – will be excluded from CVS’s drug formulary of approved medications, except in cases when it is medically necessary. Viekira Pak received Food and Drug Administration approval in December of 2014.
