Velpaget 400mg+100mg Tabs. 28`s

The active ingredients are Sofosbuvir (a nucleotide analog NS5B polymerase inhibitor) and Velpatasvir (an NS5A inhibitor). One tablet is taken once daily with or without food for 12 weeks, with or without ribavirin depending on cirrhosis status.

Fosbu-V is clinically indicated for:

  • Chronic Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in adults
  • All HCV genotypes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6)
  • Patients with compensated cirrhosis
  • Treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced patients
  • HIV-HCV co-infected patients

How Does Velpaget 400mg+100mg Tabs. 28`s Work?

Fosbu-V provides comprehensive antiviral action through dual mechanism:

  1. NS5B Polymerase Inhibition: Sofosbuvir halts viral replication by acting as a chain terminator
  2. NS5A Protein Inhibition: Velpatasvir blocks viral assembly and secretion
  3. Pan-genotypic Coverage: Effective against all hepatitis C genotypes
  4. High Barrier to Resistance: Minimal chance of viral resistance development
