Sovaldi (sofosbuvir) and Harvoni (ledipasvir/sofosbuvir) are a new generation of hepatitis C drug which unfortunately received a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warning of causing symptomatic bradycardia, as well new concerns of causing hearing loss, also known as ototoxicty. Hepatitis C is an infectious disease affecting primarily the liver, caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). While the infection is often asymptomatic, chronic infection can lead to scarring of the liver and ultimately to cirrhosis (permanent liver damage).
