About DACLAHEP 60MG TABLET

DACLAHEP 60MG TABLET is an antiviral medicine used along with sofosbuvir, with or without ribavirin, to treat chronic hepatitis C viral genotype 1 or 3 infection. It is a serious infection caused by the hepatitis C virus. It is a contagious infection that spreads from person to person and affects the liver. DACLAHEP 60MG TABLET is only used in treating the infection. It does not cure or prevent further liver complications.

DACLAHEP 60MG TABLET contains Daclatasvir, which belongs to the class of hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5A inhibitors. It works by blocking the activity of the hepatitis C virus in the liver cells. This causes viral DNA termination and reduces the amount of hepatitis C virus in the body.

DACLAHEP 60MG TABLET may cause certain side effects such as headache, fatigue, weakness, confusion, chest pain, nausea, diarrhoea, shortness of breath, dizziness and lightheadedness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor. Use it as suggested by your doctor. Your doctor will decide the duration of the medicine based on your health condition.

DACLAHEP 60MG TABLET should be avoided if you are allergic to it. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, inform your doctor before starting treatment with this medicine. DACLAHEP 60MG TABLET is not recommended for children below 18 years of age as efficacy and safety have not been established. Inform your doctor if you have any underlying conditions like hepatitis B virus infection, liver cirrhosis, nephrotoxicity, liver transplant, heart problem, kidney problems, or HIV infection, as it may cause serious side effects. DACLAHEP 60MG TABLET may cause hepatitis B infection reactivation and bradycardia (slow heart rate) in some patients. Hence, patients should be monitored carefully for any changes.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Hepatitis C Virus Infection: It is a contagious infection caused by the hepatitis C virus affecting the liver. This infection spreads from person to person through blood contact (being pricked with a contaminated needle or using a razor), intimate contact with the infected person, direct contact with infected blood, or contact with any other personal items with leftovers of infected fluid or even from mother to baby during birth. The symptoms may not appear immediately. Some may take between 2 to 12 weeks to appear. Few people may have mild to moderate symptoms such as dark urine, loss of appetite, fever, joint pain, or stomach discomfort. The complications of untreated chronic hepatitis C include liver cancer or liver cirrhosis (scarring).
