Ledipasvir

Ledipasvir is a medication used to treat hepatitis C, a viral infection that affects the liver. It works by blocking a protein the virus needs to replicate and multiply in the body. By stopping the virus from spreading, ledipasvir helps clear the infection from the body over time. It is often combined with another drug called sofosbuvir in a single pill, making treatment more convenient. This medication has high success rates and is generally well-tolerated, helping many patients achieve a cure and reduce the risk of liver damage caused by chronic hepatitis C.
