Sovaldi (sofosbuvir) is an antiviral medication that prevents hepatitis C virus (HCV) from multiplying in your body.
Sovaldi is used to treat chronic hepatitis C in adults and children who are at least 3 years old.
Sovaldi must be given in combination with other antiviral medications (usually ribavirin with or without peginterferon alfa). It should not be used alone.
Sovaldi treats specific genotypes of hepatitis C, and only in certain people. Use only the medications prescribed for you. Do not share your medicine with other people.
Sovaldi is sometimes used in people who also have HIV, or people who have liver cancer and are going to have a liver transplant. This medicine is not a treatment for HIV or AIDS.
