Simeprevir

Simeprevir is a prescription medication used to treat hepatitis C, a viral infection that affects the liver. It works by inhibiting a protein the virus needs to replicate, helping to reduce the amount of virus in the body. Usually combined with other medicines, simeprevir improves treatment effectiveness. It is taken orally, typically once daily, and is intended for people with certain types of hepatitis C. Like all medicines, it can cause side effects, so it should be used under medical supervision. Simeprevir is part of the effort to cure hepatitis C and prevent liver damage.
