Uses
This product is used in combination with other antiviral drugs for treatment of
patients with viral infection that damages the liver (Hepatitis C) including those
patients who have human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or liver cancer
or are awaiting a liver transplant.
How It Works?
This product each film coated tablet contains 400mg of the main active ingredient
i.e Sofosbuvir. The dosage schedule must be individualized by the physician in
charge of treatment, and will vary according to the viral genotype that is being
treated. Adult patients will usually be directed by their physician to take 1 tablet
per day, and it can be administered alongside a meal or else without food.
Price in India
To put this pricing of generic this product into perspective, we need to be aware
that a 12 week course of the patented Sofosbuvir medication costs $84,000 – that
amounts to a cost of $1,000 for a single tablet. With this in mind the urgent need
for generic Hepcinat (Sofosbuvir 400) mg becomes shockingly aparent.
The licensing process for the legal production of generic Hepcinat (Sofosbuvir
400) mg in India finalized in March 2015. This development has been hailed as an
ethical breakthrough that will make generic Hepcinat (Sofosbuvir 400) mg tablets
a viable treatment option for those who cannot afford expensive patented drugs.
