Look Out for Risky Drug Interactions With Hepatitis C Meds

July 2019

You can help prevent some of the biggest drug interactions with hepatitis C antivirals (Epclusa, Mavyret, Zepatier, etc).

Interactions can lead to toxicity...or treatment failure. This can be an expensive mistake...since antivirals cost up to $95,000/course.

Plus risky combos may fly under the radar...especially if patients get hep C meds from a specialty pharmacy and other Rxs from you.
