Uses

Myhep LVIR Tablet is a combination medication used to treat chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. It contains two active ingredients: Ledipasvir (90mg) and Sofosbuvir (400mg). This medication is designed to help your body fight the HCV virus, reducing the risk of liver damage and improving overall health.
