Where indicated, to be dosed according to weight: ≤ 75 kg: 1000 mg daily; ≥ 75 kg: 1200 mg daily. See Appendix 1 for reference supporting recommendations.

In individuals without cirrhosis and without HIV with a viral load < 6 million IU/mL, an 8-week regimen of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir may be considered.

Resistance testing suggested for people with genotype 1a infection before treatment with elbasvir/grazoprevir. If resistance to nonstructural 5A (NS5A) inhibitors is present, treatment should be extended to 16 weeks with the addition of weight-based ribavirin.

§

Eight weeks recommended in treatment-naive patients with fibrosis stages F0–F2. For those with F3 or F4, 12 weeks of therapy should be given.

Reserved for individuals who have been treated previously with direct-acting antiviral agents.
