Composition
Each film-coated tablet contains:
-
Daclatasvir 60 mg
-
Sofosbuvir 400 mg
Mechanism of Action
Darvoni combines two direct-acting antivirals with complementary mechanisms:
-
Daclatasvir inhibits the NS5A protein, which is essential for viral replication and assembly.
-
Sofosbuvir is a nucleotide analog that inhibits the NS5B RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, blocking viral RNA synthesis.
Together, these agents disrupt different stages of the Hepatitis C virus life cycle, leading to rapid reduction in viral load and eventual viral clearance.
