The three-pill antiviral treatment was approved after Phase 3 studies showed 100 percent sustained virologic response 12 weeks after treatment in hepatitis C patients with chronic genotype 1.

The extended release tablets contain the following four active ingredients: ombitasvir, paritaprevir, ritonavir tablets and dasabuvir.
