About this active substance

Dasabuvir is an antiviral medication used for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C, in combination with other antiviral drugs. It works by inhibiting the NS5B RNA polymerase, which is essential for hepatitis C virus replication.

The medication is taken orally, usually once daily, and the duration of treatment varies depending on the virus genotype and the patient's condition. Common side effects include fatigue, nausea, insomnia, and skin rashes.

Dasabuvir is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to the active substance or any of its excipients. It should also be used with caution in patients with severe hepatic impairment.

This medication is an effective option for eradicating the hepatitis C virus, helping to improve the prognosis of affected patients.
