MyHep LVIR is a prescription medication used to treat chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in adults. It contains a combination of two antiviral drugs, ledipasvir and sofosbuvir. Ledipasvir works by inhibiting a protein that is essential for the HCV virus to replicate, while Sofosbuvir works by stopping the virus from multiplying and spreading to other cells in the body.

MyHep LVIR is used to treat chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in adults with genotypes 1, 4, 5, or 6 who have no liver disease or who have compensated liver disease. It is also used to treat HCV infection in adults with decompensated liver disease who are also receiving ribavirin.
