Ledifos (Ledipasvir / Sofosbuvir) Tablet Work

ledifos tab is a direct-acting antiviral (DAA) medication. DAAs are a group of medications that directly block the ability of the hepatitis C virus to make copies of itself.
It is a combination of two direct-acting antiviral drugs that target different steps of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) life cycle. One is Sofosbuvir, which is a nucleotide polymerase inhibitor, and the other is Ledipasvir, which is an NS5A inhibitor. Sofosbuvir interferes with the reproduction of the virus’s genetic material, stopping the production of new Hep C virus. Ledipasvir works by interfering with a protein needed to complete the Hep C virus life cycle in the liver cell.
