Abstract:
The treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) has evolved significantly, marked by the approval of combination, direct-acting antiviral medications, which have improved the tolerability and efficacy of therapy. As the number of patients engaged in HCV treatment increases, it is important that all members of the healthcare team remain current on treatment options and equipped with the knowledge to educate patients. Nursing staff play a critical role in understanding the role of new medications in treatment, significant drug interactions, and patient counseling points on administration, potential adverse reactions, and the importance of adherence.
