Dasabuvir is typically used in combination with other antiviral drugs, such as sofosbuvir and ribavirin, to treat HCV infection. It is approved for use in adults with genotype 1, 2, 3, or 4 HCV infection. Dasabuvir is available in tablet form and is typically taken twice daily with food. Common side effects include headache, nausea, fatigue, and insomnia. Serious side effects include liver damage, anemia, and depression. The dasabuvir market is a subset of the infectious diseases drugs market. It is a rapidly growing market, driven by the increasing prevalence of HCV infection and the development of new treatments. The market is expected to continue to grow in the coming years, as new treatments are developed and more people are diagnosed with HCV infection.
