Sofosbuvir, sold under the brand name Sovaldi among others, is a medication used to treat hepatitis C.[3] It is taken by mouth.[3][6]
Common side effects include fatigue, headache, nausea, and trouble sleeping.[3] Side effects are generally more common in interferon-containing regimens.[7]: 7 Sofosbuvir may reactivate hepatitis B in those who have been previously infected.[9] In combination with ledipasvir, daclatasvir or simeprevir, it is not recommended with amiodarone due to the risk of an abnormally slow heartbeat.[7] Sofosbuvir is in the nucleotide analog family of medications and works by blocking the hepatitis C NS5B protein.[6]
Sofosbuvir was discovered in 2007 and approved for medical use in the United States in 2013.[7][10][11] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[12][13]
