Simeprevir (Galexos) (150 mg) [Internet].

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is caused by an enveloped, single-stranded, linear ribonucleic acid (RNA) virus of the Flaviviridae family. Before 2011, pegylated interferon plus ribavirin (PR) was the gold standard of therapy to inhibit viral replication in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). Approximately one-half of patients with genotype 1 CHC, the most prevalent type of CHC in Canada, could expect to achieve a sustained viral response (SVR) with PR therapy.
