Product Overview
About Sovaldi
Sovaldi is a prescription medicine that should be started and monitored by a doctor experienced in the management of patients with chronic hepatitis C.
What it is used for
Sovaldi must be used in combination with other medicines used to treat chronic hepatitis C, such as ribavirin or peginterferon alfa (a form of the natural substance, interferon) and ribavirin.
How it is used
Sovaldi is available as tablets and granules in a sachet. The granules are suitable for children and patients who cannot take tablets and they can be sprinkled on soft food, swallowed with water or swallowed dry without chewing. For adults, the recommended dose of Sovaldi is 400 mg sofosbuvir once a day. For children and young people aged up to 18 years, the daily dose depends on their weight. Sovaldi is normally taken for 12 or 24 weeks.
How it works
The active substance in Sovaldi, sofosbuvir, blocks the action of a protein called NS5B RNA-dependent RNA polymerase in the hepatitis C virus, which is essential for the virus to multiply. This stops the hepatitis C virus from multiplying and infecting new cells.
