WHAT VIEKIRAX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Viekirax 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 substances ombitasvir,
paritaprevir and ritonavir.
The combined action of the three active substances stops the hepatitis
C virus from multiplying and
infecting new cells, thus clearing the virus from your blood over a
period of time. Ombitasvir and
paritaprevir block two proteins essential for the virus to multiply.
Ritonavir acts as a ‘booster’ to prolong
the action of paritaprevir in the body.
Viekirax tablets are taken with other antiviral medicines
_ _
such as dasabuvir and ribavirin. Your doctor will
talk with you about which of these medicines to take with Viekirax.
It is very important that you also read the package l
