Why is Sovaldi prescribed?

Sovaldi (Sofosbuvir) is an antiviral medication used to treat chronic hepatitis C in adults and children aged 3 years and older. Doctors prescribe Sovaldi for specific genotypes of hepatitis C, and it is sometimes used in people who also have HIV or those undergoing liver transplants. It is not a treatment for HIV or AIDS.

What does it do?

Sovaldi (Sofosbuvir) works by blocking an enzyme that the hepatitis C virus (HCV) needs to replicate. This prevents the virus from multiplying, reducing its presence in the body to levels that cannot be detected in blood tests. It is not used alone, it must be combined with other antiviral medications, such as ribavirin or peginterferon alfa, depending on the specific genotype of hepatitis C being treated.

How should I take it?

Sovaldi should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The usual dose for adults is one 400 mg tablet per day, with or without food. Take it at the same time every day to maintain steady levels in your body. Additionally, Sovaldi is not used alone, it must be taken with other antiviral medications like ribavirin or peginterferon alfa, depending on your condition.

What if I missed a dose?

If you miss a dose of Sovaldi, take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is approaching, skip the missed one and continue following your usual schedule. Avoid taking extra or double doses to compensate for the missed dose.

Missing doses of Sovaldi may reduce its effectiveness over time, making it crucial to take each dose as prescribed without missing any.

What are the special precautions before taking Sovaldi?

Before taking Sovaldi, here are several important precautions to keep in mind:

• Avoid taking Sovaldi if you're allergic to Sofosbuvir, or any of the ingredients in the medication.
• Disclose all your current or past medical conditions to your doctor, particularly if you have:

• If you have other liver problems or are awaiting a liver transplant, inform your doctor, as Sovaldi may require special adjustments.
• Avoid sharing this medication with others, even if they have a similar condition, as it may cause unexpected health risks or adverse effects.
• If you are pregnant, considering pregnancy, or breastfeeding, consult your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits of taking this medication.
• Limit alcohol intake, as excessive consumption can aggravate liver damage and hinder the effectiveness of treatment.

Is it safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women?

Sovaldi (Sofosbuvir) is not recommended for pregnant women, especially when used with ribavirin, as it can cause birth defects. Both men and women taking ribavirin must use effective contraception during treatment and for six months after stopping the medication.

For breastfeeding mothers, there is limited data on whether Sovaldi passes into breast milk. Some experts suggest that breastfeeding may be acceptable if Sovaldi is used alone but not recommended if combined with ribavirin.
