Definition: The word "antitrope" refers to a type of antiviral medication, also known as ritonavir or sojournin for Hepatitis C treatment. It's used to treat people with chronic liver disease that causes the virus from which it was transmitted to cause jaundice, fatigue, and other symptoms. Sojournin works by stopping the growth of hepatitis B and C viruses in the liver, helping prevent future infections. Antiviral medications like ritonavir can also help manage liver damage caused by hepatitis B, C, or HIV. These medications typically work by blocking a virus's ability to multiply and causing inflammation to heal the liver cells.
