Description
Sofosbuvir and Velpatasvir are antiviral medications combined in a single tablet, designed to treat chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in adults. Sofosbuvir is a nucleotide analogue inhibitor of HCV NS5B polymerase, while Velpatasvir is an NS5A inhibitor. Together, they work synergistically to block two key stages of the HCV replication cycle, thereby reducing the virus's ability to replicate and spread in the body.
The combination tablet is typically administered once daily, with or without food, for a treatment duration based on the patient's specific genotype and medical history. This therapy is used in patients with HCV infection who have not previously been treated or have experienced treatment failure with other regimens.
Common side effects of Sofosbuvir and Velpatasvir include fatigue, headache, nausea, and insomnia. Serious side effects are rare but may include liver problems or serious allergic reactions. Patients should be monitored regularly for any signs of adverse effects during treatment.

| Drug Category | USES: This medication is a combination of sofosbuvir and velpatasvir and is used to treat chronic (long-lasting) hepatitis C, a viral infection of the liver. It may sometimes be used with another antiviral medication (ribavirin). These drugs work by reducing the amount of hepatitis C virus in your body, which helps your immune system fight the infection and may help your liver recover. Chronic hepatitis C infection can cause serious liver problems such as scarring (cirrhosis), or liver cancer. It is not known if this treatment can prevent you from passing the virus to others. Do not share needles, and practice "safer sex" (including the use of latex condoms) to lower the risk of passing the virus to others. |

| How to Use | HOW TO USE: Read the Patient Information Leaflet and Instructions for Use if available from your pharmacist before you start taking sofosbuvir/velpatasvir and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually once daily. Children's dosage is based on age and weight. The manufacturer recommends that children younger than 6 years old take the pellet form of this medication with food to improve taste of the medication. If you are using the pellet form of this medication, gently shake the packet before use. To take this medication without food, open the packet and pour the pellets directly into your mouth. To prevent a bitter taste, swallow the pellets without chewing. You may drink water after swallowing the pellets if needed. Repeat these steps if your dose is for more than one packet. If you are taking this medication with food, open the packet(s) and pour the pellets into a small bowl with one or more spoonfuls of non-acidic soft food (such as pudding, mashed potato, ice cream). The soft food should be at or below room temperature. After gently mixing, take all of the mixture without chewing within 15 minutes. Chewing or waiting to give the dose may make this medication taste bitter. This medication works best when the amount of drug in your body is kept at a constant level. Take this drug at evenly spaced intervals. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day. Continue to take sofosbuvir/velpatasvir for the full length of time prescribed, even if symptoms disappear after a short time. Stopping the medication too early may result in a return of the infection. Antacids lower the absorption of velpatasvir. If you are taking an antacid, take it at least 4 hours before or 4 hours after this medication. Other acid-lowering medications for indigestion, heartburn, or ulcers (such as prescription or over-the-counter medications including famotidine, omeprazole) may prevent velpatasvir from working. Ask your doctor or pharmacist how to use these medications safely. |

Lab tests (such as liver function, tests for hepatitis B and C) should be done before you start using this medication, while you are using it, and after completing treatment.
