**MyHep LVR** is a combination antiviral medication that contains the following active ingredients: **Ledipasvir (90 mg)** and **Sofosbuvir (400 mg)**. This combination is primarily used to treat chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, particularly in adults.
### PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
**MyHep LVR** is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with chronic hepatitis C, and it is effective against several genotypes of the virus. Ledipasvir and Sofosbuvir work synergistically to inhibit the replication of the hepatitis C virus and promote viral clearance.
### COMPOSITION
Each tablet of MyHep LVR contains:
– **Ledipasvir** – 90 mg
– **Sofosbuvir** – 400 mg
– **Excipients** – (inactive ingredients that aid in the formulation of the tablet)
### MECHANISM OF ACTION
– **Ledipasvir**: This is an NS5A inhibitor that interferes with the hepatitis C virus’s lifecycle, specifically blocking the replication and assembly process of the virus.
– **Sofosbuvir**: This is an NS5B polymerase inhibitor that prevents viral RNA replication by inhibiting the action of the polymerase enzyme necessary for forming new viral RNA.
The combination of these two drugs effectively decreases the viral load and increases the chances of achieving a sustained virologic response (SVR).
