Sofocure V

What is Sofocure V Tablet?

Sofocure V Tablet is a mixture of two antiviral medicines, Sofosbuvir and Velpatasvir. Doctors use this tablet to treat long standing hepatitis C virus infection in adults and in some older children. It belongs to the group of direct acting antiviral regimens that target the virus inside liver cells and help clear it from the blood.

Hepatitis C virus slowly damages the liver year after year. Many people feel almost normal for a long time, but scarring goes on quietly. Later it can lead to cirrhosis, liver failure or liver cancer. When you treat early with a full course of Sofocure V, it helps reduce future risk.

Conditions in which Sofocure V Tablet is used?

• Hepatitis C virus infection in adults .
• Hepatitis C virus infection in some children have certain age and weight.
• Patients with or without mild cirrhosis.
• Patients after a liver transplant in selected cases, with careful monitoring.

How does Sofocure V work?

The two ingredients in Sofocure V:

1. Sofosbuvir blocks a viral protein called polymerase. The virus needs this enzyme to copy its genetic material. When the tablet is taken, it blocks polymerase. Preventing new copies of virus from replicating properly. With the action, immune system is able to take down the virus which gets hidden when the medicine is not taken.
2. Velpatasvir targets another protein called NS5A. This protein helps the virus assemble and release new particles. When Velpatasvir blocks NS5A, the virus fails to organize itself and spread.

Because you hit two key steps together, the virus level in blood falls steadily. After a full course, many patients reach a stage where tests cannot detect the virus. Doctors call this a sustained response, and in day to day language you can say the infection gets cured, as long as you do not catch the virus again.
