    I’m wondering if there has been any notes (tht I have missed ) about taking 5htp or magnesium tablets during sofosbuvir/daclatasivr treatment ? I’m not concerned about side effects – but do not want to take if they inhibit the treatment . Any advice much appreciated (also hoping that I am posting this in the correct forum ) :) xxx

    Hello Smp123,

    Magnesium is just a salt so should not cause any problems.

    5htp is a byproduct of L-tryptophan metabolism so should also not cause any problems.

    So, yes you can continue to take them, but to be safe maybe a couple of hours before or after the Sof/Dac so they have basically no physical contact/mixing in your gut.

    YMMV
