1 Disclosure Updates in Hepatitis C Treatment 2015 Lindsey Childs Kean, PharmD, MPH, BCPS Clinical Assistant Professor Department of Pharmacotherapy and Translational Research University of Florida College of Pharmacy St. Petersburg Campus I have NO actual or potential conflict of interest in relation to this educational activity or presentation. I will be discussing off label uses of medications in this presentation. Learning Objectives Pharmacists At the end of the presentation, learners should be able to: Describe the route of transmission and risk groups of hepatitis C infection Recommend an appropriate treatment regimen for a patient with chronic hepatitis C Identify potential drug drug interactions with approved direct acting antivirals Learning Objectives Technicians At the end of the presentation, learners should be able to: Identify patient risk groups for hepatitis C infection Determine the drug class for a given directacting antiviral List one side effect of each approved directacting antiviral Meet HS HS is a 55 yo WM with chronic HCV Prior injection drug and alcohol use Prior relapse with peginterferon + ribavirin HCV Genotype 1a AST 80 units/ml, ALT 110 units/ml, Child Pugh A HTN controlled on lisinopril and amlodipine Milk Thistle for his liver Epidemiology 170 million people infected worldwide Highest prevalence in Africa, Asia 1.3% prevalence in United States (U.S.) 4% in U.S. veterans Up to 80% in injection drug users Lavanchy D.
