What is Epclusa?

Epclusa is an FDA-approved prescription medication used to treat hepatitis C, which is an infection of the liver caused by a virus. This medication works by reducing the amount of hepatitis C virus in your body. This 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 or liver cancer. 

Epclusa can be used in adults and children 3 years and older. Epclusa treats certain genotypes of hepatitis C. Your healthcare provider will order tests to make sure Epclusa is the appropriate treatment for you. 

Epclusa may also be used with ribavirin to treat scarring of the liver.

Epclusa is sometimes used in patients who also have HIV. However, Epclusa does not treat HIV or AIDS.
