Introduction to Myhep All Tablet
Myhep All tablet contains the active components Sofosbuvir and Velpatasvir. It is used to treat chronic hepatitis C. Hepatitis C is a liver infection caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). The treatment duration is often shorter than older treatment regimens. The duration can vary depending on factors such as HCV genotype, previous treatment history, and the presence of liver cirrhosis. Successful treatment with Myhep All tablet can significantly reduce liver inflammation and fibrosis caused by HCV infection. By achieving viral eradication, the risk of developing liver cirrhosis, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma (a type of liver cancer) can be substantially reduced.
If you have a known allergy or hypersensitivity to Myhep All tablet or any of the components of the medication, you should not take it. The safety and efficacy of sofosbuvir and velpatasvir combination therapy have not been established in children under 18. Its use in the pediatric population is currently limited. It is recommended to use alternative treatment options or adjust the dosage in these cases.Â

Word of Advice
Before initiating treatment, individuals should be screened for hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection due to the risk of HBV reactivation. Close monitoring of liver function and HBV DNA levels is necessary during and after treatment, particularly for those with a current or prior HBV infection. Additionally, potential drug interactions with other medications should be carefully evaluated, and healthcare providers should be informed about all current medications. Individuals taking amiodarone should be closely monitored for severe bradycardia (decreased heart rate) when co-administered with this medication. Dose adjustments are necessary for patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease. Assessing the potential impact on psychiatric health, especially in individuals with a history of psychiatric disorders, is necessary.
