Product Introduction
Sovihep V tablet contains the active ingredients sofosbuvir and velpatasvir. It is indicated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C. Hepatitis C is a liver infection caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Treatment duration with this combination is often shorter than older regimens. The duration varies depending on factors including HCV genotype, prior treatment history, and presence of liver cirrhosis. Successful treatment with Sovihep V tablet can substantially reduce liver inflammation and fibrosis caused by HCV infection. By achieving viral eradication, the risk of developing liver cirrhosis, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) can be substantially reduced.
Sovihep V tablet should not be used in patients with known allergy or hypersensitivity to sofosbuvir, velpatasvir, or any component of the formulation. The safety and efficacy of sofosbuvir and velpatasvir combination therapy have not been established in children under 18 years of age. Use in the paediatric population is currently limited. Alternative treatment options or dose adjustment may be considered in these cases.
