Savera 400mg Tablet

Savera 400mg Tablet contains Sofosbuvir 400mg, a direct-acting antiviral for hepatitis C. Made by Ferozsons Laboratories Limited, it is prescribed for chronic hepatitis C. Pack size: 1 x 28 s.

Uses of Savera 400mg Tablet

Savera 400mg Tablet is used in combination with other antiviral medicines, such as daclatasvir, velpatasvir or ledipasvir, and sometimes ribavirin, to treat chronic hepatitis C infection. Pakistan has one of the highest rates of hepatitis C in the world, and modern combination treatment clears the virus in the large majority of people who complete the course. Clearing the virus lowers the risk of cirrhosis and liver cancer.

How Savera 400mg Tablet works

Sofosbuvir blocks an enzyme called NS5B polymerase, which the hepatitis C virus needs to copy its genetic material. Without it, the virus cannot multiply. It is always combined with another antiviral that attacks a different part of the virus, which makes treatment more effective and helps prevent resistance.

Possible side effects

Savera 400mg Tablet is generally well tolerated. Side effects people commonly report include:

• Tiredness
• Headache
• Nausea
• Difficulty sleeping
• Irritability

Get urgent help for a very slow heartbeat, fainting, chest pain or breathlessness, especially if you take amiodarone. Also contact your doctor if you notice yellow skin or eyes, dark urine or swelling of the abdomen.

Precautions and warnings

• Tell your doctor if you take amiodarone or other heart rhythm medicines, as a dangerously slow heartbeat can occur with this combination.
• Your doctor will test for hepatitis B before treatment, because hepatitis B can flare up as hepatitis C is cleared.
• Some medicines reduce its effect, including rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenytoin and St John’s wort, and acid-reducing medicines can affect some partner drugs, so give your doctor a full list of what you take.
• Take every dose for the full length of treatment prescribed, and attend follow-up blood tests to confirm the virus has cleared.
• When combined with ribavirin, pregnancy must be avoided by both partners; discuss pregnancy and breastfeeding with your doctor.
