Product Introduction

Myhep Lvir Tablet contains the active ingredients Ledipasvir and Sofosbuvir. It is an antiviral medicine used to treat chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in adults and children aged 3 years and above. Hepatitis C is a viral infection that mainly affects the liver and often remains symptom-free until it progresses to chronic liver disease or cirrhosis. The risk of liver damage may increase in people who consume alcohol or have a weakened immune system. The primary goal of treatment with Myhep Lvir Tablet is to eliminate the hepatitis C virus and help prevent liver-related complications.

Do not take this medicine if you are allergic to Ledipasvir, Sofosbuvir, or any of its ingredients. Inform your doctor if you have severe liver disease, decompensated cirrhosis, another liver condition, hepatitis B infection, HIV infection, or if you are awaiting a liver transplant. Your doctor may also need to monitor or adjust the dose of other medicines you take, especially immunosuppressants.

If you have diabetes, discuss it with your doctor before starting treatment, as this medicine may lower blood sugar levels and require adjustments to your diabetes medication. Regular blood tests may be recommended before, during, and after treatment to monitor liver function and confirm that the hepatitis C virus has been cleared.

Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. It is not known whether this medicine passes into breast milk, so breastfeeding is generally not recommended during treatment. Myhep Lvir Tablet should not be used in children below 3 years of age, as its safety and effectiveness have not been established. Inform your doctor about all prescription medicines, over-the-counter drugs, and herbal supplements you use to help prevent possible drug interactions.
