Should I take my hep c drugs sofosbuvir velpatasvir in the morning or at night?

I just got my hep c medicine today.  I don’t know what time of day I should take it? Has anybody got any helpful tips on taking this particular medication?

So your taking Epclusa the trade name for that drug combo.

Some of us had a feeling of increased energy while taking hep c meds so you might consider earlier in the day. I took mine with food but that isn’t required. I just prefer to take all meds with food unless it says not to.

How many weeks will you be taking them?

Good luck on your journey

I just saw your reply sorry it took so long.  I just took my first pill last night and didn’t sleep too well.  I took mine with food too.  I’ll be taking it 12 weeks.  I feel fine this morning I’m very happy.  I haven’t noticed any brand names associated with the ingredients on my box.

EPCLUSA  is the trade name in the US sofosbuvir 400 mg/velpatasvir 100 mg are the ingredient medicines

Sofosbuvir-velpatasvir is the generic name also known as the International non-proprietary name (INN) or common name
