WHAT INCIVO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
INCIVO acts against the virus that causes hepatitis C infection and is
used to treat chronic hepatitis C
infection in adult patients (aged 18–65 years) in combination with
peginterferon alfa and ribavirin.
INCIVO contains a substance called telaprevir and belongs to a group
of medicines called ‘NS3-4A
protease inhibitors’. The NS3-4A protease inhibitor reduces the
amount of hepatitis C virus in your
body. INCIVO must not be taken alone and must be taken in combination
with peginterferon alfa and
ribavirin to be sure your treatment works. INCIVO can be used for
patients with chronic hepatitis C
infection who have never been treated before or can be used in
patients with chronic hepatitis C
infection who have been treated previously with an interferon-based
regimen.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
INCIVO, in combination with peginterferon alfa and ribavirin, is
indicated for the treatment of
genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C in adult patients with compensated
liver disease (including cirrhosis):
-
who are treatment-naïve;
-
who have previously been treated with interferon alfa (pegylated or
non-pegylated) alone or in
combination with ribavirin, including relapsers, partial responders
and null responders (see
sections 4.4 and 5.1).
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Treatment with INCIVO should be initiated and monitored by a physician
experienced in the
management of chronic hepatitis C.
Posology
INCIVO, 1,125 mg (three 375 mg film-coated tablets) should be taken
orally twice daily (b.i.d.) with
food. Alternatively, 750 mg (two 375 mg tablets) can be taken orally
every 8 hours (q8h) with food.
The total daily dose is 6 tablets (2,250 mg). Taking INCIVO without
food or without regard to the
dosing interval may result in decreased plasma concentrations of
telaprevir which could reduce the
therapeutic effect of INCIVO.
INCIVO should be administered in conjunction with ribavirin and either
peginterferon alfa-2a or -2b.
Please consult sections 4.4 and 5.1 regarding the selection of
peginterferon alfa-2a or -2b. For spe
