Viekirax Vieldrax or as it is also known, is a new drug designed to treat hepatitis C. According to studies, this drug in combination with another drug called exviera, is 100% effective in curing hepatitis C with minimal side effects; This is because they are free of interferon (a natural protein that causes many side effects).
Vieldrax or viekirax was created and marketed by the pharmaceutical company ABBVIE. It is available in 12.5 mg / 75 mg / 50 mg tablets. Composed of the following active ingredients: 12.5 mg of Ombitasvir; 75mg of Paritaprevir; and 50 mg of Ritonavir.
Until recently, the treatment of hepatitis C had been focused on the use of interferon and ribavirin. However, with the application of this new drug, it is possible to discard interferon and, therefore, all the adverse actions that its use causes; reactions that often became serious, and even compromised the patient's life.
Vieldrax is composed of three direct-acting antivirals that attack the virus, affecting various stages of its life cycle. Doctors are very hopeful with this drug since the results of the studies have been positive, finding cases in which in the first weeks of medication, a negativization of the virus has been demonstrated, showing that this new treatment cures hepatitis C and It does so by providing the patient with an environment of trust.
Its presentation format in tablets is to be administered orally. Generally the recommended dose is 2 tablets together once a day, it can be with meals; but always at the same time. It is important to note that vieldrax treatment must be accompanied by other antiviral medications to combat hepatitis C, such as ribavirin and dasabuvir, the dose of which will be indicated by the specialist.
This drug is prohibited in children and adolescents, and pregnant women, since the effects of the drug on the fetus are unknown. Similarly, you should not breastfeed during treatment with vieldrax.
