Chronic Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in adults. Used as part of combination regimens with other direct-acting antivirals such as sofosbuvir, and may be effective across genotypes 1, 2, 3, and 4. Treatment duration and specific combination depend on HCV genotype and prior treatment history.
As an NS5A inhibitor, daclatasvir targets the hepatitis C virus non-structural protein 5A (NS5A), which plays a critical role in viral RNA replication and virion assembly. By inhibiting this protein, the medication prevents the virus from replicating and spreading within the body.
Requires a prescription and should be used under medical supervision as part of a complete treatment regimen. May interact with other medications; inform your healthcare provider of all drugs being taken. Not recommended as monotherapy. Effectiveness depends on specific HCV genotype and patient factors; genotype testing is typically required before treatment.
