Hepcvel Tablet

Introduction to Hepcvel Tablet

Hepcvel tablet contains the active components Sofosbuvir and Velpatasvir. It is used to treat chronic hepatitis C. Hepatitis C is a liver infection caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). The treatment duration is often shorter than older treatment regimens. The duration can vary depending on factors such as HCV genotype, previous treatment history, and the presence of liver cirrhosis. Successful treatment with Hepcvel tablet can significantly reduce liver inflammation and fibrosis caused by HCV infection.

It is recommended to use alternative treatment options or adjust the dosage in these cases.
