Hilvel 400mg/100mg Tablet

Hilvel 400mg/100mg Tablet contains Sofosbuvir + Velpatasvir 400mg/100mg, a direct-acting antiviral combination for hepatitis C. Made by Hilton Pharma Ltd, it is prescribed for chronic hepatitis C. Pack size: 2×14 tablets.

Uses of Hilvel 400mg/100mg Tablet

Hilvel 400mg/100mg Tablet is used to treat long-term (chronic) hepatitis C infection in adults and some children. It works against all the main genotypes of the virus, so genotype testing is often not needed. Taken for the full course, it clears the virus from the blood in the large majority of patients, which helps protect the liver from cirrhosis and liver cancer.

How Hilvel 400mg/100mg Tablet works

Sofosbuvir blocks NS5B polymerase, the enzyme the hepatitis C virus uses to copy its genetic material. Velpatasvir blocks the NS5A protein, which the virus needs to replicate and assemble. Attacking two targets at once stops the virus multiplying and lowers the chance of resistance.

Possible side effects

Hilvel 400mg/100mg Tablet is usually well tolerated. People sometimes report:

• Headache
• Tiredness
• Nausea
• Difficulty sleeping
• Irritability

Get medical help urgently if you take amiodarone and notice a very slow heartbeat, dizziness or fainting, or if you develop yellowing of the skin or eyes or dark urine.

Precautions and warnings

• Take it every day for the full course; missing doses can reduce the chance of clearing the virus.
• Tell your doctor about all your medicines, especially amiodarone, acid-reducing medicines such as omeprazole or antacids, rifampicin, carbamazepine and phenytoin.
• You should be tested for hepatitis B before treatment, as it can flare up once hepatitis C is cleared.
• Avoid alcohol to protect your liver.
• Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; if it is prescribed with ribavirin, pregnancy must be avoided.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
