Daclatasvir/sofosbuvir (trade names Darvoni, Sovodak) is a two-drug combination for the treatment of hepatitis C.[2] It is given as a single daily pill containing daclatasvir, a viral NS5A inhibitor,[3] and sofosbuvir, a nucleotide inhibitor of the viral RNA polymerase NS5B.[4]

It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[5]

Society and culture

[edit]

This combination is produced by an Iranian company under the trade name of Sovodak.[6] The combination includes 400 mg sofosbuvir and 60 mg daclatasvir and has been used in clinical trials since 2015.[7][8][9] Sovodak was approved by the Iranian Food and Drug Administration in October 2015[10] and is currently marketed in Iran as the treatment of choice for all genotypes of hepatitis C as recommended by the national Iranian guideline for treating hepatitis C.[11]

Research

[edit]

The similarities between the hepatitis C and SARS-CoV-2 virus has led some researches to investigate the effectiveness of sofosbuvir/daclatasvir against COVID-19. Three recently published studies have found this combination to be beneficial against COVID-19 although the findings require confirmation by larger studies.[12][13][14]

In October 2020, a meta-analysis found a significantly lower risk of all-cause mortality with the drug combination when given to hospitalized patients with COVID-19.[15]
