Information About Paritaprevir

Paritaprevir is an NS3/4A protease inhibitor used as part of combination direct-acting antiviral therapy for chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 and 4 infection in Singapore. Available only in a fixed combination with ombitasvir and ritonavir, taken once daily with a meal, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. Ritonavir pharmacokinetically boosts paritaprevir plasma exposure by inhibiting CYP3A4-mediated metabolism — the combination requires baseline liver function testing as it is contraindicated in decompensated cirrhosis. A valid doctor's consultation is required before dispensing. Order Paritaprevir online at DoctorOnCall Singapore with same-day delivery available.
