Abstract

Most patients with hepatitis C are treated with pangenotypic direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) such as sofosbuvir/velpatasvir and glecaprevir/pibrentasvir. GPs experienced in the management of hepatitis C can prescribe DAAs independently. Others must consult with a specialist before prescribing; online resources can streamline this process. Important considerations before prescribing include barriers to adherence and drug interactions.
