Sofosbuvir’s job is to specifically target the NS5B polymerase, which is a key part of how the hepatitis C virus Replicates. This medication works to suppress viral RNA dependent RNA polymerase thereby preventing HCV reproduction. These are these pill thingys, all nice and coated, with just 400 mg in each – you take one every single day.
Mostly, Sofosbuvir rides along with other medications to really knock HCV on its back. The 400 mg doses are taken by yourself or with other medicines, just like your healthcare person told you to. The capsules come in bottles, 28 of ’em, so that’s enough for a month’s worth if you’re taking ’em as you’re supposed to.
Sofosbuvir’s pretty good at keeping HCV at bay, working great for lots of different types of the virus. You don’t just swallow this stuff by itself. It usually mixes with ribavirin and other antivirals and is all about fit for each person and the kind of hep C they’ve got.
