What is a Generic Drug?

A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Description

SOVALDI (sofosbuvir) is a medication used to treat chronic hepatitis C virus infection. It is approved to treat genotypes 1, 2, 3, or 4 in combination with ribavirin and/or PEG-interferon alfa.

Hepatitis C is a viral infection that causes inflammation of liver cells and sometimes liver damage. Hepatitis C may remain dormant for many years without the infected person's knowledge. It may manifest as an acute hepatitis C infection, which can develop into a chronic infection or resolve on its own.

SOVALDI treats chronic hepatitis C infection by inhibiting the enzyme HCV NS5B RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, a protein enzyme critical to the replication of the hepatitis C virus. Hepatitis C virus utilizes NS5B to replicate viral RNA strands. SOVALDI incorporates into the growing RNA strand during RNA replication, causing termination of the replication process.

Directions

Take one 400 mg tablet by mouth once daily with or without food.

The exact regimen and length of therapy are determined by the hepatitis C genotype as well as the physician or treatment team. Take SOVALDI exactly as prescribed by your physician.

Ingredients

The active ingredient of SOVALDI is sofosbuvir.

Cautions

SOVALDI has the potential for drug interactions with p-glycoprotein inhibitors like rifampin and St. John's Wart. Do not take any new prescription or over-the-medication medications while taking SOVALDI without speaking to your doctor first. Co-administration with p-gp inhibitors may significantly decrease the plasma concentration of SOVALDI and make treatment less effective.

Bradycardia may occur in patients taking both amiodarone and SOVALDI together. Patients taking beta-blockers or those with cardiac abnormalities may be at an increased risk.
