Warning and Precautions

  • To minimize the risk of Hepatitis B Virus reactivation, it’s essential to test all patients for any current or past HBV infection before starting treatment for HCV. For those with both HCV and HBV, careful monitoring for HBV reactivation and potential liver flare-ups during and after HCV treatment is crucial. Patients showing signs of HBV infection should receive appropriate medical attention.
  • Regarding bradycardia when taking amiodarone alongside LediHep: There’s a serious risk of slow heartbeat, especially in patients also on beta blockers, or with existing heart or liver issues. Using amiodarone with LediHep isn’t recommended. If no other treatment options exist, cardiac monitoring becomes necessary.
