The Epclusa drugs work by reducing the amount of hepatitis C virus in your body, which helps your immune system fight the infection and may help your liver recover.
Chronic hepatitis C infection can cause serious liver problems such as scarring (cirrhosis), or liver cancer.
Sofosbuvir/velpatasvir, sold under the brand name Epclusa among others, is a fixed-dose combination medication for the treatment of hepatitis C in adults.
It combines sofosbuvir and velpatasvir. It is more than 90% effective for hepatitis C genotypes one through six.
Amiodarone (a heart rhythm medicine) should not be taken with Epclusa because it can cause an abnormal slowing of the heart rate called bradycardia. Over-the-counter antacids or acid-reducing agents can reduce the effectiveness of Epclusa.
Talk with your doctor or provider if you are planning on taking these medications.
