Sofocure v Tablet

1. Product Introduction

Sofocure-V Tablet is a combination antiviral medicine used to treat chronic Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in adults. It contains two potent direct-acting antiviral agents: Sofosbuvir (400mg) and Velpatasvir (100mg). Together, they offer a pan-genotypic solution, meaning they are effective against all major genotypes of the Hepatitis C virus.

Sofosbuvir is a nucleotide polymerase inhibitor that interferes with the virus’s ability to replicate, while Velpatasvir is an NS5A inhibitor that blocks a protein needed by the virus to reproduce and assemble. This dual-action combination has proven to be highly effective in curing Hepatitis C with a treatment duration of usually 12 weeks.

This oral tablet offers a convenient, once-daily dosing and is often preferred due to its high efficacy, excellent safety profile, and the ability to treat a broad spectrum of Hepatitis C genotypes without the need for interferon or ribavirin in many cases.
