Hepcdac Tablet

• Brand name: Hepcdac
• Active Ingeridents: Daclatasvir
• Company Name: Cipla
• Package: 28 Tablets
• Strength : 60 mg

Indication:

Hepcdac (Daclatasvir) is used with another antiviral medication (sofosbuvir) to treat chronic (long-lasting) hepatitis C, a viral infection of the liver. Hepcdac(Daclatasvir) should never be used without sofosbuvir. Hepcdac(Daclatasvir) and sofosbuvir may also be used with another antiviral medication (ribavirin). These medications together reduce the amount ofhepatitis C virus in your body, which helps your immune system fight the infection and may help your liver recover. Chronic hepatitis C infection can cause serious liver problems such as scarring (cirrhosis), or liver cancer.

Mechanism of action:

The dimeric symmetry of these compounds suggests that they act on a dimer of NS5A, which is also consistent with the presence of dimers in crystals of NS5A domain 1 from genotype 1b. Genotype 1a HCV is less potently affected by these compounds and resistance mutations have a greater effect than in the 1b genotypes. We have obtained crystals of domain 1 of the important 1a NS5A homologue and intriguingly, our X-ray crystal structure reveals two new dimeric forms of this domain. Furthermore, the high solvent content (75%) makes it ideal for ligand-soaking. Hepcdac(Daclatasvir) (DCV) shows twofold symmetry suggesting NS5A dimers may be of physiological importance and serve as potential binding sites for DCV. These dimers also allow for new conformations of a NS5A expansive network which could explain its operation on the membranous web. Additionally, sulfates bound in the crystal structure may provide evidence for the previously proposed RNA binding groove, or explain regulation of NS5A domain 2 and 3 function and phosphorylation.

Dosage and Administration:

Take Hepcdac(Daclatasvir) exactly as your healthcare provider tells you to.

• Do not change your dose unless your healthcare provider tells you to.

• Take Hepcdac(Daclatasvir) 1 time each day with or without food.

• If you miss a dose of Hepcdac(Daclatasvir), take the missed dose as soon as you remember the same day. Take the next dose at your regular time.

• If you miss a dose of Hepcdac(Daclatasvir) and remember the next day, skip the missed dose. Take the next dose at your regular time. Do not take 2 doses of Hepcdac(Daclatasvir) at the same time to make up for the missed dose.

• If you take too much Hepcdac(Daclatasvir), call your healthcare provider or go to the nearest hospital emergency room right away

Side effects:

Tiredness, headache, nausea, or diarrhea may occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
