Sofosbuvir (Sovaldi, Harvoni, Epclusa) and Ketamine Therapy | Tovani Health
Sovaldi (Sofosbuvir) (also: Harvoni (sofosbuvir + ledipasvir), Epclusa (sofosbuvir + velpatasvir)) — NS5B polymerase inhibitor (chronic hepatitis C)
Verdict at Tovani Health
Fully compatible; modern HCV therapy is cure-focused short-course with clean interaction profile.
Sofosbuvir-based regimens and ketamine have no clinically significant interaction. The modern direct-acting antiviral regimens (Harvoni, Epclusa, Mavyret) are short cure courses — typically 8-12 weeks — with clean profiles compared to the older interferon-based therapies they replaced. No meaningful CYP3A4 modulation at therapeutic doses.
If you take Sovaldi regularly and are considering at-home ketamine therapy, the combination is generally safe at therapeutic doses. This page covers the brief pharmacologic context and what we do at intake.
