Watch Closely for Drug Interactions with Hep C Meds

January 2016

More hepatitis C patients will now be treated...due to updated guidelines and a push for fewer payer restrictions.

Most patients will get one or two of the new oral meds, daclatasvir (Daklinza)...ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (Harvoni)...simeprevir (Olysio)...sofosbuvir (Sovaldi)...ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir (Technivie)...or ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir (Viekira Pak).

Expect most patients to be treated for 12, 16, or 24 weeks...often based on whether they have cirrhosis or have been treated before.
