Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Is tablet Hepcivir L effective for HCV positive patient? Is that safe for a heart patient?

Answered by Dr. sivanath

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. Cardiac side effect chance is not significant. Drug trial fails to mention the potential cardiac side effects associated with this medication (Hepcivir L - a combination of Sofosbuvir and Ledipasvir). It means any cardiac side effect is likely to be less than 1% and cannot be attributed to this drug.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
