Ravidasvir is a medication used to treat hepatitis C.[2] It is typically used together with sofosbuvir with a 97% cure rate.[4] It can be used in people infected with both hepatitis C and HIV/AIDS.[4] It is taken by mouth.[2]

Side effects are generally minor.[3] In people with diabetes, low blood sugar may occur.[3] In those who also have hepatitis B reactivation may occur.[3] It is a NS5A inhibitor.[1]

Ravidasvir was approved for medical use in Malaysia and Egypt in 2021.[4] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[5] A 12 week course of treatment is expected to cost about 300 to 500 USD.[1]

History

Preliminary clinical trial results were announced in Nov 2015.[6] In April 2017, press reports stated that a combination treatment involving ravidasvir and sofosbuvir had achieved a 97% clearup rate against hepatitis C in a clinical trial conducted in Malaysia and Thailand, and 100% in another conducted in Egypt.[7] It has been granted conditional registration by the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) of Malaysia.[8][9]
