Viktana is a prescription medication used to treat chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. It contains a combination of two antiviral medications: sofosbuvir and velpatasvir.
Sofosbuvir works by blocking an enzyme that the HCV virus needs to replicate, while velpatasvir blocks another protein that the virus needs to replicate. By working together, these medications can help to reduce the amount of HCV in the body and potentially cure the infection.
