Sofosbuvir is a kind of treatment for hepatitis C. It’s like a special molecule that blocks something important for the virus to survive. You get Sofosbuvir in tablet form, and each one has 400 mg of the stuff.
Doctors usually suggest you take one 400 mg pill each day. It’s often used with other medicines to fight the virus. You take these tablets by mouth.
Each bottle has 28 tablets, so it’s easy to have a whole month’s worth. Sofosbuvir works by hitting a part of the virus that helps it make more of itself. The treatment can differ for each person, depending on how bad their hepatitis C is, what type of virus they have, and if it’s a new or long-term infection.
Keeping track of how you’re doing with the treatment and watching for side effects is a big deal when using Sofosbuvir.
