WHAT SOVALDI IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Sovaldi contains the active substance sofosbuvir which is given to
treat hepatitis C virus infection in
adults and children 3 years of age and older.
Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. This medicine works by
lowering the amount of hepatitis C
virus in your body and removing the virus from your blood over a
period of time.
Sovaldi is always taken with other medicines to treat hepatitis C. It
will not work on its own. It is
commonly taken with either:
•
Ribavirin (children and adult patients), or
•
Peginterferon alfa and ribavirin (adult patients)
It is very important that you also read the leaflets for the other
medicines that you will be taking with
Sovaldi. If you have any questions about your medicines, please ask
your doctor or pharmacist.
