Sof/Dac 84 or 90 Dosage? 6 years 6 months ago #2358

Joan Offline Senior Member Posts: 71 Thank you received: 95 Karma: 1	Hello I received my meds yesterday. I bottle Sofosburvir I bottle of Daclastavir. However, there were 84 capsules in each bottle. I was expecting 90 capsules'. On the prescription my Dr. wrote 90 caps and same on the order form. I'm just wondering if 84 is the correct dosage or do I need 90 for the whole course? Thanks

Hello Joy,

This was my error. Before I knew more I knew less. Mesochem supplied in a standard quantity of 36 g (90 x 400 mg) so I made the incorrect assumption that it was 90 days treatment, rather than 84. To be totally compliant with the guidelines we now use 84 days.

If it was me I would reserve the extra 6 to resume treatment in the (unlikely) event of recurrence. That will minimise any delay while further medication is shipped to you.

Over treating for 6 days should not cause any harm, but given the recent Gecko data the 8 weeks works well for most people we are probably overtreating by quite a bit with the 84 day course.

The trouble is we can only ever know we under treated....

YMMV
