Treatment of chronic HCV genotype 1 or genotype 3 infection in treatment-naive (previously untreated) or previously treated adults, including those with cirrhosis (compensated or decompensated), liver transplant recipients, and those with HIV coinfection.

Must be used in conjunction with other antivirals; do not use alone.

Usually used in a multiple-drug regimen that includes sofosbuvir (with or without ribavirin).

Consider screening for NS5A polymorphisms prior to initiation of treatment in cirrhotic patients with HCV genotype 1a infection. (See General under Dosage and Administration.)

Efficacy of daclatasvir and sofosbuvir (with or without ribavirin) is reduced in cirrhotic patients with HCV genotype 3 infection compared with those without cirrhosis.
