People report having few side effects with epclusa.
It is very important, however, to drink lots of water to avoid dehydration and to take pills at one time of the day. Lots of water is a must with velpatasvir due to its taste and so as to compensate for the dehydration that cases the side effects (light headaches, fatigue).
Just a caution about dehydration.

Diet and gastric ph are very important with velpatasvir. One must think what and when to eat to keep gastric pH low. Side effects disappeared 2 weeks after, unless I ate anything < 4hrs before the pill. SVR60.
