May lead to lower exposure & loss of efficacy w/ phenytoin, carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, phenobarb, rifampicin, rifabutin, rifapentine, systemic dexamethasone & St. John's wort. Decreased plasma levels & therapeutic effect w/ strong or moderate CYP3A4 & P-gp inducers. Increased plasma levels w/ strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. May increase systemic exposure of P-gp, OATP, 1B1, OCT1 or BCRP substrates.

Daclatasvir should not be used during pregnancy or in women of childbearing potential not using contraception. Use of highly effective contraception should be continued for 5 weeks after completion of Daclatasvir therapy. It is not known whether daclatasvir is excreted in human milk.
Precaution:
Patients w/ genotype 1 infection & compensated cirrhosis; receiving amiodarone; decompensated liver disease; prior exposure to a NS5A inhibitor; pre-, peri- or post-liver transplant or other organ transplant; HIV/HCV, HBV co-infected patients.
Rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption. May impair ability to drive or operate machinery. Women of childbearing potential. Pregnancy & lactation. Childn & adolescents <18 yr.
Lactation
Unknown if distributed in human breast milk
There is no known antidote for overdose of Daclatasvir. Treatment of overdose with Daclatasvir should consist of general supportive measures, including monitoring of vital signs and observation of the patient’s clinical status. Because Daclatasvir is highly protein bound (>99%), dialysis is unlikely to significantly reduce plasma concentrations of the drug.
Store at room temperature below 30°C, protect from light. keep out of the reach of children.
Hepatic viral infections (Hepatitis C)
Inhibits NS5A, a nonstructural protein encoded by HCV.
Binds to the N-terminus within domain 1 of NS5A, which may cause structural distortions that interfere with NS5A functions, and thereby inhibits both viral RNA replication and virion assembly.
Pregnancy
No data in pregnant women are available
If daclatasvir and sofosbuvir are administered with ribavirin, the warnings and precautions for ribavirin, in particular the pregnancy avoidance warning, apply to this combination regimen (see ribavirin prescribing information)
Lactation
Unknown if distributed in human breast milk
The development and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for the drug and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from the drug or from the underlying maternal condition
