    This article says, ” Sofosbuvir, like many drugs, is partially cleared via the p-glycoprotein transporter (P-GP) system. Amiodarone is a known inhibitor of P-GP transport. Decreased P-GP activity means patients taking amiodarone could be exposed to higher levels of sofosbuvir. ”

    And I think it’s worse when you use both Sof+Dac. 5 out of the 9 patients that had cardiac problems while on Amiodarone were also taking Sof+Dac.

    Someone I know had problems when he was taking Zocor and Harvoni. He stopped the Zocor and the symptoms went away.
