Hepcinat (Sofosbuvir Tablets)

Hepcinat (Sofosbuvir Tablets) is a breakthrough treatment for Hepatitis C infections. Its mechanism of action involves inhibiting the enzyme which is necessary for the virus if it is to multiply. A complete cure may even be possible. Chronic hepatitis C is a serious infection of the liver which occurs following an infection with the hepatitis C virus. Upon reaching the cells of the liver, the virus begins to multiply, which it achieves by means of copying its DNA and RNA. This medicine is known as a nucleotide polymerase inhibitor, and it works directly on the virus itself. After oral administration, it undergoes a process of intracellular metabolism in which it is converted to its active form. It subsequently starts to work, whereupon it actively targets the enzyme that is used by the virus to produce RNA chains (HCV NS5B RNA-dependent RNA polymerase). This can help to stop viral multiplication. Treatment of genotypes 1, 2, 3 and 4 is possible with this medicine, however it is always used in combination with other medications and never on its own.
