1.
WHAT HARVONI IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Harvoni is a medicine that contains the active substances ledipasvir
and sofosbuvir. Harvoni is given
to treat chronic (long-term) hepatitis C virus infection in
ADULTS
and
CHILDREN 3 YEARS OF AGE AND
OLDER.
Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. The active substances
in the medicine work together by
blocking two different proteins that the virus needs to grow and
reproduce itself, allowing the infection
to be permanently eliminated from the body.
Harvoni is sometimes taken with another medicine, ribavirin.
It is very important that you also read the leaflets for the other
medicines that you will be taking with
Harvoni. If you have any questions about your medicines, please ask
your doctor or pharmacist.
