Hello,
My husband and I have been perscription for epclusa.
Has anyone know someone who have had children after talking the medication.
Man or wemon
Was the pregnancy normal, was there any birth defect?
How long after treatment did they try to have children?
My husband has recently been diagnosed with testicular cancer and we want more children and don’t want to take any chances.
Hello SweetJo,
Yes, some of my patients have got pregnant after treatment and had normal children.
Unless you take ribavirin every last molecule of the treatment drugs is gone from your system within 5 months of finishing.
You will find a longer (technical) explanation and discussion from this post of mine 2 years ago that looks at why we know this with certainty.
