LEDIFOS TABLET

Product Description

Ledifos Tablet is a medicine that contains the active substances ledipasvir and sofosbuvir. It is indicated to treat chronic (long-term) hepatitis C virus infection in adults and children three years of age and older. Hepatitis C is a virus that mainly infects the liver. It is mainly triggered by a virus named Flavivirus. Most patients remain asymptomatic, and the symptoms show up only when they develop chronic liver disease or cirrhosis. The progression of liver disease is faster in people who consume alcohol and those with a weak immune system. The main treatment goal for Hepatitis C infection is complete eradication of the virus causing this infection.

This drug is contraindicated for individuals with decompensated cirrhosis or severe liver disease. In such cases, alternative treatment options should be considered. This drug should not be used if you have any known allergy or hypersensitivity to Ledifos Tablet or other ingredients in the medication. Your liver function may change with the treatment of hepatitis C and, therefore, affect other medications (e.g., medicines used to suppress your immune system, etc.). Your doctor may need to monitor your other medicines and make dose adjustments closely. If you have liver disease other than hepatitis C, are awaiting a liver transplant, have a current or previous infection with the hepatitis B virus (HBV), or receive ongoing treatment for HIV infection. Its important to inform your doctor. They will consider these conditions before starting treatment.

The doctor will test your blood before, during, and after your treatment with this medicine.

The use of this drug has not yet been studied. This tablet can interact with certain medications, potentially affecting their efficacy or increasing the risk of side effects.
