Velpanat Tablet contains the active ingredients Sofosbuvir and Velpatasvir, which belong to a class of antiviral medications used in combination to treat chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Hepatitis C is a long-term infection that affects the liver and can lead to serious complications such as liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and even liver cancer if left untreated. Velpanat helps by targeting multiple stages of the virus’s replication cycle, effectively suppressing and ultimately eliminating the virus from the bloodstream.

One of the advantages of Velpanat therapy is its shorter treatment duration compared to older, interferon-based regimens. The length of treatment may vary depending on the HCV genotype, previous treatment responses, and whether the patient has liver cirrhosis. When used appropriately, this combination therapy can significantly decrease liver damage and the progression to life-threatening complications like hepatocellular carcinoma.

However, Velpanat is not suitable for everyone. Individuals with a known allergy or hypersensitivity to Sofosbuvir, Velpatasvir, or any of the tablet’s inactive ingredients should avoid using this medication. In addition, the safety and efficacy of Velpanat have not been fully established in pediatric patients under the age of 18, so its use in children is not routinely recommended. In such cases, physicians may consider alternative therapies or modify the treatment approach based on clinical need. Always consult your doctor for personalized medical advice before starting treatment

To treat chronic hepatitis C (HCV) infection

Sofosbuvir is classified as a direct-acting antiviral agent (DAA) that functions by inhibiting the replication of the hepatitis C virus (HCV). It achieves this by targeting the NS5B RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, a vital enzyme the virus needs to reproduce its genetic material. By blocking this enzyme, Sofosbuvir effectively prevents the virus from multiplying in the body.

Velpatasvir, also a direct-acting antiviral, works in a complementary manner by inhibiting a different viral protein known as NS5A, which plays a crucial role in both viral replication and the assembly of new virus particles. By targeting two distinct proteins essential for the HCV lifecycle, the combination of Sofosbuvir and Velpatasvir offers a potent and comprehensive approach to suppressing and eliminating the hepatitis C virus from the body
