Hepcinat

Hepcinat seen as a genuine breakthrough in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C has recently emerged in the world pharmaceutical market.
Sofosbuvir can now replace Interferon which is commonly known for causing certain adverse effects and having a number of contraindications. At the moment, it is already approved for use in the 120 countries worlwide. Sofosbuvir can be used for treatment of patients with cirrhosis and HIV.
 
Hepcinat (Sofosbuvir) film coated tablets each contain 400mg of the main ingredient. The dosage schedule must be individualized by the physician in charge of treatment, and will vary according to the viral genotype that is being treated. Adult patients will usually be directed by their physician to take 1 tablet per day, and it can be administered alongside a meal or else without food.
Those suffering from GT1 or GT4 (genotype 1 or 4) may be ordered by the physician to take it alongside ribavirin and peginterferon alfa, with treatment lasting for a period of 12 weeks. In contrast to this, GT2 (genotype 2) is usually treated for 12 weeks, and it is taken alongside ribavirin. GT3 (genotype 3) requires 24 weeks of treatment in combination with ribavirin. Patients must only take it according to the instructions provided to them by the physician in charge of treatment.

Patients who are undergoing treatment for Hepatitis C with Hepcinat (Sofosbuvir) will require regular visits to their physician or the hospital so that routine blood tests can be carried out. The frequency at which these tests are required will be determined by your physician.

A minimum of 2 effective non-hormonal barrier methods of contraception should be used at all times during treatment and for at least 6 months following the completion of treatment.
It is very important that patients are aware of the fact that there is a risk of infecting others with hepatitis C, and taking this medicine will not prevent this.
