What does it do?

Velpatasvir is an antiviral agent used in the treatment of hepatitis C, targeting the non-structural protein of the virus (NS5A). This component plays a role in disrupting the replication and assembly processes of the virus, preventing the spread of infection.

Velpatasvir binds to the NS5A protein within the hepatitis C virus, blocking the process by which the virus replicates its genetic material and produces new viral particles. As a result, the viral load decreases, and the infection is inhibited.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Velpatasvir belongs to the NS5A inhibitor class and is used in combination with other antiviral agents to reduce the development of resistance and enhance therapeutic efficacy. Notably, it is effective against various genotypes of the hepatitis C virus.
