How Does It Work?

Sofosbuvir is a direct-acting antiviral (DAA) that works by inhibiting the NS5B RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, an enzyme essential for the hepatitis C virus to make new copies of itself. By blocking this enzyme, Sofosbuvir stops viral replication, lowers the viral load, and helps eliminate the infection when used with other antiviral medicines.
