Sofosbuvir-velpatasvir

Drug Details

Epclusa, a combination of sofosbuvir and velpatasvir, is prescribed for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C in both adults and children. This medication works by stopping the hepatitis C virus from replicating in your body, which helps your immune system combat the infection and supports liver health. Chronic hepatitis C can lead to severe liver conditions such as cirrhosis or liver cancer. It is important to note that while Epclusa is effective in managing the virus, it is not confirmed whether it can prevent transmission to others. To reduce the risk of spreading the virus, do not share needles and practice safer sex, including using latex condoms. Always consult your healthcare provider for advice tailored to your specific health needs before starting any new medication.
