WHAT EXVIERA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Exviera is an antiviral medicine used to treat adults with chronic
(long-term) hepatitis C (an infectious
disease that affects the liver, caused by the hepatitis C virus). It
contains the active substance
dasabuvir.
Exviera works by stopping the hepatitis C virus from multiplying and
infecting new cells, thus
clearing the virus from your blood over a period of time.
Exviera tablets do not work on their own. They are always taken with
another antiviral medicine
containing ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir. Some patients may also
take an antiviral medicine called
ribavirin. Your doctor will talk with you about which of these
medicines to take with Exviera.
It is very important that you also read the package leaflets for the
other antiviral medicines that you
take with Exviera. If you have any questions about your medicines,
please ask your doctor or
pharmacist.
