Uses:

Storage Conditions:
Virso should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the medication out of the reach of children and pets.
Mechanism of action:
Virso works by inhibiting the activity of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, an enzyme essential for the replication of the hepatitis C virus. By blocking the activity of this enzyme, Virso can prevent the virus from multiplying and spreading, leading to an improved prognosis and sustained virologic response.
Precautions:
Virso should be used with caution in patients with liver or kidney disease. It should also be used with caution in pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers, as the use of Virso may harm the fetus or infant.

Overdose of Virso can lead to nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Seek immediate medical attention in case of an overdose.
Side Effects:
Common side effects of Virso include headache, fatigue, and nausea. It may also cause a decrease in white blood cell count, leading to an increased risk of infection. However, most side effects of Virso are mild and resolve on their own over time. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience any severe side effects while taking Virso.
