WHAT EPCLUSA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Epclusa is a medicine that contains the active substances sofosbuvir
and velpatasvir. Epclusa is given
to treat chronic (long-term) hepatitis C virus infection in adults and
children aged 3 years and older.
The active substances in this medicine work together by blocking two
different proteins that the virus
needs to grow and reproduce itself, allowing the infection to be
permanently eliminated from the body.
It is very important that you also read the leaflets for the other
medicines that you will be taking with
Epclusa. If you have any questions about your medicines, please ask
your doctor or pharmacist.
