Warning and Precautions

  • Hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation may establish in HCV/HBV coinfected individuals who are undergoing or finished treatment with HCV direct acting antivirals, and who are not receiving HBV antiviral treatment.
  • Test patients for evidence of current or previous HBV infection by measuring HBsAg and anti-HBc prior to starting HCV treatment with Sofosbuvir 400 mg. In those with serologic presence of HBV infection, evaluate for clinical and laboratory signs of hepatitis flare or HBV reactivation during therapy and during post-treatment follow-up. Start useful patient management for HBV infection as clinically required.
  • Patients who are taking Hepcinat who need to begin amiodarone therapy because of no other alternative, viable therapy options should undergo cardiac monitoring. Because of amiodarone’s long half-life, those discontinuing amiodarone just before starting Hepcinat should also undergo cardiac monitoring.
  • Therapeutic drugs that are P-gp inducers in the intestine (such as St. John’s wort and rifampin) may significantly reduce sofosbuvir plasma concentrations and may reduce the therapeutic effect of Sofosbuvir. The use of rifampin and St. John’s wort with Sofosbuvir 400 mg tablets is not recommended.
