Velasof Tablet 400 mg+100 mg

Velasof Tablet 400 mg+100 mg is an oral antiviral medicine that contains sofosbuvir 400 mg and velpatasvir 100 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the direct-acting antiviral class used to treat chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. This fixed-dose tablet is prescribed as part of a complete treatment plan to help clear the virus from the body. It is not a medicine for cold, flu, or ordinary liver symptoms.

How it works: Sofosbuvir blocks an HCV enzyme needed for the virus to copy its genetic material, while velpatasvir blocks another viral protein needed for the virus to multiply. As a tablet, Velasof Tablet 400 mg+100 mg delivers both medicines in one oral dose so they can work together throughout the day.

Velasof Tablet 400 mg+100 mg is the standard full-strength fixed-dose tablet for hepatitis C treatment, so it is not a lower-dose starter product. Because it already contains the full 400 mg of sofosbuvir with 100 mg of velpatasvir, it is typically chosen for adults whose doctor has confirmed this combination and dose are appropriate. Since there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand here, this tablet represents the usual complete daily regimen rather than a step-up strength.

• Chronic hepatitis C treatment
• Part of combination antiviral therapy
• Helps reduce HCV in the blood
• May help prevent hepatitis C complications
• Used only when prescribed by a clinician

• Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush, split, or chew unless your doctor or pharmacist says otherwise.
• Take it at the same time every day to keep medicine levels steady.
• It may be taken with or without food.
• If you also take an antacid, separate the doses as directed by your clinician because stomach-acid medicines can affect absorption.
• Finish the full prescribed course even if you feel well.
• Do not take extra tablets to make up for missed doses unless your prescriber instructs you to do so.

Each Velasof Tablet 400 mg+100 mg provides 400 mg of sofosbuvir and 100 mg of velpatasvir per tablet. In many treatment plans, this tablet is taken once daily, but the exact schedule and total duration depend on your hepatitis C type, liver status, and any other medicines you use. Your doctor determines the dose and treatment length; do not take more than prescribed in one day.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
