Product Overview
Hepcinat LP represents a breakthrough in hepatitis C treatment, combining the potent antiviral agents Ledipasvir (90 mg) and Sofosbuvir (400 mg) in a single tablet. This innovative fixed-dose combination therapy provides a highly effective solution for eradicating hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection through a convenient once-daily oral regimen, transforming the management of chronic hepatitis C.
Therapeutic Applications
Hepcinat LP is specifically designed for adults with chronic hepatitis C caused by genotypes 1, 4, 5, or 6 of the virus. The medication demonstrates exceptional efficacy in achieving sustained virologic response (SVR), effectively eliminating HCV from both the bloodstream and liver tissue. Its clinical profile makes it suitable for patients regardless of prior treatment experience, offering an optimal balance of efficacy and tolerability.
Administration Guidelines
For optimal results, take one Hepcinat LP tablet orally each day, with or without food. The tablet should be swallowed intact with adequate water. Strict adherence to the prescribed treatment duration is crucial for successful viral eradication. The tablet must not be divided, crushed, or chewed to maintain its therapeutic integrity.
Mechanism of Action
Hepcinat LP’s dual-active formulation provides comprehensive antiviral coverage:
• Ledipasvir targets the HCV NS5A protein, disrupting viral replication and assembly
• Sofosbuvir functions as a nucleotide analog inhibitor, blocking viral RNA polymerase activity
This synergistic action effectively halts HCV replication, facilitating viral clearance and promoting hepatic recovery.
Dosing Protocol
The standard therapeutic regimen consists of one tablet administered orally once daily, with or without food. Complete adherence to the prescribed treatment course is essential to maximize therapeutic benefits and minimize resistance development.
