    I have been looking at the prescribing information here:
    http://fixhepc.com/forum/forum-gp-cheat-sheet.html

    “Medications (Daclatasvir and Ledipasvir in particular have many interactions) you can check with this tool http://www.hep-druginteractions.org/checker

    I checked with the tool and it is not showing any interactions for dac and led. It’s giving a green light.

    So which is correct?
    Thanks,

    Oh duh! I see that the prescribing info meant that both dac and led have many interactions with OTHER drugs.
    I was thinking it meant they have many interactions with EACH OTHER.

    Anyway, I am still unclear on the subject of whether dac and led have interactions with each other. I cannot find any information which suggests that they do. I also cannot find any evidence which proves that they don’t. I want to know if the concentration of either drug will be lowered by the presence of the other during a switchover from led to dac, while keeping sof the same?

    Possibly this is still one of the many as yet unanswered questions about using the DAAs.

    PS
    I meant to say “efficacy’, not “concentration” which may not be the same thing.

    I suspect there is little research on what you are asking as:

    – It would require crosslabel trials which tend to be expensive.
    – the standard treatment approach seems to be to use one NS5A inhibitor thoughout treatment and if that treatment fails to retreat preferably using another NS5A inhibitor that expresses itself via a different path if such an drug exists. This would apparently reduce any risk of resistance effecting the retreatment. I don’t know whether Dac and Led differ sufficiently to do that or whether they are entirely analogous.

    I’m not a scientist just an interested reader so the above is just my take on it.

    G3a since ’78 – Dx ’12 – F4 (2xHCC)
    24wk Tx – PEG/Riba/Dac 2013 relapsed
    24wk Tx – Generic Sof/Dac/Riba 2015/16 relapsed
    16wk Tx – 12/01/17 -> 03/05/17 NS3/NS5a + Generic Sof
    SVR7 – 22/06/17 UND
    SRV12 – 27/07/17 UND
    SVR24 – 26/10/17 UND
