Hi, I m a 53 year old white female who is currently taking Eclupsa for treatment of hepatitis C. I have been experiencing fatigue for sometime now. I m on my 24th day of a 3 month treatment plan and was wondering what i can do to help with the fatigue. It has gotten so bad that some days I m unable to do anything other than to get up and go to bathroom. Please if you have any suggestions to help me with this issue it will greatly be appreciated. Thank you, Theresa

Hello,
Epclusa is a brand name of sefosbuvir/velpatasvir. Fatigue and tiredness are quite common with epclusa, especially in the initial days of usage.
Generally, symptoms will settle by itself. If symptoms persists you can consult your doctor and ask for alternatives.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
