No adequate human data are available to establish whether or not Sofosbuvir and Velpatasvir combination poses a risk to pregnancy outcomes. If Sofosbuvir and Velpatasvir combination administered with Ribavirin, the combination regimen is contraindicated in pregnant women and in men whose female partner is pregnant or going to be pregnant in next six months.
Precaution:
Direct-acting antivirals (DDAs) may reactivate hepatitis B virus (HBV) in patients who have a current or previous HBV infection while being treated for hepatitis C virus
In a few cases, HBV reactivation in patients treated with DAA medicines resulted in serious liver problems or death
Patients should be screened for evidence of current or prior HBV infection before starting treatment with DAAs, and monitored for HBV flare-ups or reactivation during DAA treatment and posttreatment follow-up
Serious symptomatic bradycardia may occur if sofosbuvir is coadministered with amiodarone in combination with another direct-acting antiviral (eg, daclatasvir, simeprevir)
Lactation: Unknown if sofosbuvir, velpatasvir, or their metabolites are distributed in human breast milk
If overdose occurs the patient must be monitored for evidence of toxicity. Treatment of overdose includes monitoring of vital signs as well as observation of the clinical status of the patient.
Store in a cool and dry place (preferably below 30° C). Keep out of reach of children.
Hepatic viral infections (Hepatitis C)
Sofosbuvir: Inhibitor of HCV NS5B RNA-dependent polymerase; its inhibition, in turn, suppresses viral replication
Velpatasvir: Pangenotypic HCV NS5A inhibitor; the NS5A protein is required for viral replication
No adequate human data are available to establish whether or not Sofosbuvir and Velpatasvir combination poses a risk to pregnancy outcomes. If Sofosbuvir and Velpatasvir combination administered with Ribavirin, the combination regimen is contraindicated in pregnant women and in men whose female partner is pregnant or going to be pregnant in next six months.
