Category: Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)
Treatment for Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) typically involves antiviral medications. The most common medications used to treat HCV are direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), which target the virus and help the body clear it from the bloodstream. Some examples of DAAs used to treat HCV include: Sofosbuvir, Ledipasvir, Daclatasvir, Velpatasvir, Glecaprevir/pibrentasvir, Elbasvir/grazoprevir, Ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir.
These medications are often used in combination with each other to increase their effectiveness and reduce the risk of drug resistance. Treatment regimens may vary depending on factors such as the genotype of the virus, the extent of liver damage, and the individual’s overall health. It’s essential for individuals with HCV to work closely with healthcare providers to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for their specific condition.
