About Mydekla 60Mg 28 Tablets

Mydekla 60Mg 28 Tablets is an antiviral medicine used along with sofosbuvir, with or without ribavirin, to treat chronic hepatitis C viral genotype 1 or 3 infection. It is a serious infection caused by the hepatitis C virus. It is a contagious infection that spreads from person to person and affects the liver. Mydekla 60Mg 28 Tablets is only used in treating the infection. It does not cure or prevent further liver complications.

Mydekla 60Mg 28 Tablets contains Daclatasvir, which belongs to the class of hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5A inhibitors. It works by blocking the activity of the hepatitis C virus in the liver cells. This causes viral DNA termination and reduces the amount of hepatitis C virus in the body.

Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor. Use it as suggested by your doctor. Your doctor will decide the duration of the medicine based on your health condition.

Mydekla 60Mg 28 Tablets should be avoided if you are allergic to it. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, inform your doctor before starting treatment with this medicine.
