• Food Consideration: It can be taken with or without food, but maintaining a consistent time daily improves effectiveness.

How it Works

Dual Mechanism of Action:

1. Sofosbuvir:
   • Inhibits the enzyme RNA polymerase, which is critical for viral replication.
   • This disruption halts the creation of new viruses, enabling the immune system to eliminate existing ones.
2. Daclatasvir:
   • Targets the hepatitis C virus at multiple stages of its life cycle.
   • Acts as an NS5A replication complex inhibitor, interfering with viral protein reproduction.

Together, these mechanisms significantly reduce the viral load and help achieve sustained virologic response (SVR).
