Why did palpitations appear after the 9th tablet of Epclusa?

Thank you for sharing your case. Epclusa (sofosbuvir/velpatasvir) is a medicine used to treat chronic hepatitis C. Palpitations (palpitations) are a rare but possible side effect of this medicine.

Each patient may react differently to medications, and palpitations may be an individual reaction to the active substances in Epclus. Epclusa may also interact with other medications you are taking, which can lead to symptoms such as palpitations.

Please remember that side effects of medications should be reported to your doctor or individually. By reporting side effects, you help other patients, including your relatives, who may also need the same drug one day. This step also allows us to gather more information on the safety of medicinal products and update data on them. I encourage you to report an adverse reaction if it has not already been done:

It's important to note that heart palpitations can also be a symptom of a more serious problem. If this symptom persists or worsens, you should consult your doctor immediately. Your doctor may decide to modify your treatment or perform additional tests to rule out other causes of palpitations.

If you have doubts about this situation, it is always worth consulting a doctor who can provide more personalized advice. If you are not able to make a face-to-face visit, I attach a link to the online teleconsultation:
