Sofosbuvir is this NS5B polymerase inhibitor thingy that’s made specifically to help with hepatitis C. It works by stopping the virus from making more of itself. You can get this med in these tablets that are coated with a film, and they’re 400 mg strong.
They usually say to take 400 mg of it each day, usually mixed with some other stuff that’s also supposed to help. You get this stuff in bottles with 28 tablets inside. The main way it works is by getting in the way of this thing called NS5B RNA polymerase that the virus uses to make its RNA and replicate.
It’s one of those nucleotide analog drugs that copies real nucleotides to block the polymerase enzyme, so it stops the virus from copying itself. It’s usually used along with ribavirin and other drugs as part of the treatment plan. It’s made to be taken by mouth so your body can absorb it and fight off HCV.
