Description
Hepcdac 60 mg (Daclatasvir) is an antiviral medication, which is used with other
medications in the treatment of chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection in adults. This
antiviral medicine helps to lower the multiplication of the virus in the blood and thereby,
improves liver function over a period of time. The active ingredient of Hepcdac is
Daclatasvir.
Pharmacodynamics
The combination of daclatasvir (DCV), sofosbuvir (SOF), and ribavirin (RBV) is a direct-
acting antiviral (DAA) regimen for the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
That is why this medication is given with other medications to treat the Hepatitis C Virus.
The inclusion of newer effective DAAs such as SOF and DCV with high efficacy and
excellent tolerance introduced a new way in HCV infection therapy: high rates of
sustained virological response (SVR), shorter therapies, less toxicity, and interferon-free
treatments.
Contraindications
Do not consume this medication if you have an allergy to any ingredient of Hepcdac 60
mg tablet.
