Women of childbearing potential should use effective contraceptive measures to avoid getting pregnant and undergo a routine pregnancy test during and after treatment (for 9 months). If accidental pregnancy occurs, then it should be informed to the doctor immediately. The medicine is also not recommended for use in breastfeeding women since it is not known whether the medicine may pass through breast milk.

Sofosbuvir works by lowering the load of hepatitis C virus in the body by binding to hepatitis C virus RNA and interfering with its life cycle thus preventing the viral replication in the body and treating the infection in affected individuals.
