Explanation by: Mr. Dubey

Sofosbuvir and Dasabuvir are direct-acting antiviral drugs used primarily to treat Hepatitis C infection.

  • They work by inhibiting viral replication, helping to cure Hepatitis C in many patients with high success rates.

Why other options are incorrect:

  • (A) Swine flu – Treated with antivirals like oseltamivir, not sofosbuvir/dasabuvir.
  • (C) Influenza – Also treated with drugs like zanamivir or oseltamivir.
  • (D) HIV infections – Treated with antiretroviral drugs like zidovudine, tenofovir, etc., not sofosbuvir/dasabuvir.
