Sofosbuvir Mechanism, CYP450 Pathways & DailyMed Monograph

RxCUI RXN-619581501-2393 • NDC 61958-1501

Within prescription hepatitis c virus nucleotide analog ns5b polymerase inhibitor care, Sofosbuvir (61958-1501, 61958-1505; manufactured/labeled by Gilead Sciences, Inc.) offers oral-route delivery via 400 mg/1 Tablet, Film Coated and 200 mg/1 Pellet with structured clinical follow-up.

In oral-route clinical dosing (400 mg/1 Tablet, Film Coated and 200 mg/1 Pellet), Sofosbuvir (manufactured/labeled by Gilead Sciences, Inc.; 61958-1501, 61958-1505) executes hepatitis c virus nucleotide analog ns5b polymerase inhibitor molecular modulation paired with routine metabolic and excretory disposition.

Pharmacokinetic profiling of Sofosbuvir demonstrates an elimination half-life of Steady-state plasma equilibrium reached over 6–19 hour t½ intervals for Sofosbuvir with Approximately 69% to 81% enteral uptake across labeled Sofosbuvir strengths systemic bioavailability; clearance proceeds via predominantly hepatic biotransformation with renal elimination of polar sofosbuvir conjugates, reaching clinical onset within maximum serum exposure occurs 2–3 hours after sofosbuvir dosing.

Titration schedules for Sofosbuvir (400 mg/1 Tablet, Film Coated → 200 mg/1 Pellet → 150 mg/1 Pellet → 200 mg/1 Tablet, Film Coated) require excluding contraindicated in patients with prior serious allergic response to sofosbuvir (ndc 61958-1501); severe baseline organ impairment where sofosbuvir accumulation exceeds safe therapeutic margins; real-world patient logs highlight headache (7.8% of reports), nausea (7.7% of reports), dizziness (5.4% of reports) alongside a 77.00% Worth-It consensus.

Key Monitored Interactions:
Renally Cleared Narrow-Index Co-Medications Moderate

Reconcile eGFR-adjusted medications before escalating Sofosbuvir in polypharmacy regimens.

Gastric pH-Altering Agents (PPIs & H2 Blockers) Minor

Shifts in intragastric pH can modestly influence dissolution kinetics of oral Sofosbuvir dosage forms.

Half-Life
