Overview

What is Sofosbuvir?

Sofosbuvir (SOF) is a direct-acting antiviral (DAA) targeting the NS5B polymerase of the Hepatitis C virus. It is the backbone of most modern HCV treatment regimens, used in combination with other DAAs such as daclatasvir, ledipasvir, or velpatasvir. Treatment is typically 8–12 weeks with SVR12 (sustained virological response) rates exceeding 95% across all HCV genotypes.

Mechanism

How Does It Work?

Prodrug activation

Sofosbuvir is a prodrug that is converted intracellularly to its active uridine triphosphate analogue (GS-461203) by hepatic enzymes.

NS5B inhibition

GS-461203 acts as a chain terminator for the HCV NS5B RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, blocking viral RNA synthesis.

Pangenotypic activity

Sofosbuvir is active against all 6 major HCV genotypes with a high barrier to resistance, making it the universal backbone of HCV treatment.

Dosage

How to Use

Timing

Once daily, at the same time each day

How to Take

Take with food to improve tolerability.

Frequency

Once daily

With Food

Take with food — reduces nausea and improves tolerability

Alcohol

Avoid alcohol throughout HCV treatment — alcohol accelerates liver fibrosis

Missed Dose

Take as soon as remembered on the same day. If the next day has already begun, skip the missed dose. Never double dose.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the treatment success rate for Hepatitis C with Sofosbuvir?

Sofosbuvir-based regimens achieve SVR12 (sustained virological response) rates exceeding 95% for all HCV genotypes when taken as directed. Most patients require only 8–12 weeks of treatment.

Do I need to take Velpanex Tablets with other medicines?

Yes. Sofosbuvir is always used in combination with another direct-acting antiviral — typically daclatasvir, ledipasvir, or velpatasvir. Your doctor will choose the combination based on your HCV genotype and liver condition.

Can I take Velpanex Tablets if I have kidney disease?

Sofosbuvir requires an alternative if your eGFR is below 30 mL/min. Inform your doctor of your renal function before starting treatment.

What happens after I finish the Sofosbuvir course?

Your doctor will check your HCV viral load 12 weeks after completing treatment. An undetectable level at that point confirms SVR12 — the standard measure of treatment success for Hepatitis C.

⚠ BLACK BOX WARNING

Test all patients for current or prior HBV infection before initiating sofosbuvir-containing regimens. HBV reactivation has been reported and may result in fulminant hepatitis, hepatic failure, and death.

Drug Interactions

Drug / Substance	Effect	Action

Rifampicin / rifabutin	P-gp induction reduces sofosbuvir exposure significantly	Contraindicated
St John's Wort	Herbal P-gp inducer reduces sofosbuvir exposure	Avoid during HCV treatment

Approved Indications

Chronic HCV genotypes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (in combination with other DAAs) FDA / EMA
