Hi. sorry to hear you are having difficulties. We have spoken with many people who have done Epclusa and not experienced any problems, although a few report fatigue, nausea or headaches. It's not clear how long you have been on it, but you may find any side effects settle down after a few weeks. If it is really troubling you, you should speak to the nurse or doctor who is overseeing your treatment and they will be able to advise further. It is important to take the tablets at a regular time each day. You have an excellent chance of getting rid of your hep C infection with this however so I do hope things improve for you soon. Best wishes

I am not sure whether its relatied to Epclusa.. Even if it is I would suggest that you try to finish the course as it is very likely you will clear the HCV with it.

Not what you're looking for?
