Important Information
Daclatasvir Dihydrochloride Tablets should be used only as part of a healthcare professional's prescribed hepatitis C treatment regimen. It is generally combined with other direct-acting antiviral medicines because daclatasvir should not be used alone for HCV treatment. The choice and duration of therapy depend on factors such as HCV genotype, liver condition, previous treatment history, and other medicines being used. Inform your doctor about all prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, and supplements because significant drug interactions may occur. Do not stop or change treatment without medical advice.
