Overview

The most important aspects associated with the therapy of chronic hepatitis C viral infection (HCV) using interferon-free therapy with DAA drugs (IFN-free DAA regimens) are mentioned. This therapy is very effective, safe, with minimum contraindications and adverse events. We must also permanently remember some crucial principles associated with this therapy: interaction with other medicaments, possibility of HBV reactivation and principles of care after successful treatment.

KEYWORDS:

HCV infection – HBV infection – interferon-free therapy – DAA drugs – HBV reactivation
