Daclatasvir

Daclatasvir is a medication used to treat hepatitis C, a viral infection that affects the liver. It works by blocking a protein called NS5A, which the virus needs to replicate and spread. By inhibiting this protein, Daclatasvir helps reduce the amount of virus in the body, allowing the liver to heal and decreasing the risk of liver damage. It is often combined with other antiviral drugs as part of a treatment plan. Daclatasvir is taken orally, typically once daily, and has been shown to be effective in clearing the virus in many patients.
