**Hepcinat Plus** is a combination antiviral medication that combines two active ingredients: **Daclatasvir (60 mg)** and **Sofosbuvir (400 mg)**. This combination is primarily used for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
### PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
**Hepcinat Plus** is indicated for the treatment of adults with chronic hepatitis C. The combination of Daclatasvir and Sofosbuvir provides a potent antiviral effect that targets the hepatitis C virus and promotes viral clearance.
### COMPOSITION
Each tablet of Hepcinat Plus contains:
– **Daclatasvir** – 60 mg
– **Sofosbuvir** – 400 mg

### MECHANISM OF ACTION
– **Daclatasvir**: An NS5A inhibitor that interferes with the hepatitis C virus’s replication process and assembly, thereby disrupting the viral lifecycle.
– **Sofosbuvir**: An NS5B polymerase inhibitor that prevents the virus from replicating by blocking a key enzyme needed for viral RNA synthesis.
Together, these medications target different aspects of the HCV lifecycle, leading to a reduction in viral load and a higher likelihood of achieving a sustained virologic response (SVR).
