Abstract

Introduction: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a worrying public health issue worldwide. The introduction of direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) brings revolution to HCV treatment. Pharmacists’ role in Malaysia is significant since the implementation of Medication Therapy Adherence Clinic (MTAC). This study aims to determine the sustained virological response (SVR12) for HCV patients treated with Sofosbuvir and Daclatasvir and/or Ribavirin. Besides, it evaluates adherence rate, types of pharmaceutical intervention and physicians’ acceptance rate.
