Hepcinat 400 mg Tablet

Hepcinat 400 mg Tablet is a prescription antiviral medicine containing 400 mg of sofosbuvir in each tablet. It is supplied in a strip/box of 10 packs and belongs to the direct-acting antiviral class used to treat chronic hepatitis C infection. Hepcinat 400 mg Tablet is typically used as part of a combination treatment plan, not by itself, to help clear hepatitis C from the body.

How it works: Sofosbuvir blocks the hepatitis C virus from making copies of itself, which lowers the amount of virus in the body over time. In tablet form, Hepcinat 400 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed into the bloodstream, where it works with other antiviral medicines to stop the virus from multiplying.

Hepcinat 400 mg Tablet is the standard full-strength sofosbuvir tablet used when a doctor wants the usual adult dose in tablet form. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, this product fits typical once-daily dosing and is not a lower-dose or starter tablet. A clinician may choose Hepcinat 400 mg Tablet for adults who can swallow tablets and need the standard sofosbuvir dose as part of a hepatitis C regimen.
