HARVONI WITH OR WITH OUT FOOD 8 years 4 weeks ago #13722
| The HARVONI website patient information states that you can take them with or with out food. I have had some people saying that it's best to take them with out food. I've been taking my HARVONI for the past 23 weeks at 7am with breakfast. Also I took Ribavirin for 12 weeks. Can Ribavirin be taken with food ?

Hi Michael, Ribavirin should be taken with food. I tried without when I wasn't hungry on peg/riba treatment and became quite nauseous, after that I always made sure I ate something with it. Here you go, page three, half way down left column: fixhepc.com/images/cmi/Rebetol-CMI.pdf Edit: as Paul points out below, the food should have some fat in it. I changed to full cream milk on my cereal and if the evening meal is fat free I have some cheese and biscuits with the riba.

| The clinic told me to take Riba with some fatty food so I opted for a slice of bread with peanut butter on it most times. Two time relapser. SVR 4 achieved 12/16 at last SVR 12 achieved 22/02/2017 The Bastard has been defeated GT 3 - about 28 yrs with HCV |

Goin on Harvoni with food for 11 weeks. taking pill on 19:45 (+/-15mins important to do this)in the middle of the dinner/main course(eat half plate, take pill and water, continue eating) and a glass water. with no problem/side effects at all. two times without any food or water i feel really bad(headache and so on). dont eat grapefruit(this big orange). I try with only sandwich and that is not enough to eat with pill. edit: This is my own experience taking Harv, and my doctors recommendation. | |

Hi Cronholm I took harvoni for 8 weeks no side effects whatsoever and as the instructions said with or without food I took it in the morning with a couple of coffees from posts I've read on here everybody is different as regards side-effects I think if instructions say with or without food it is up to you to find out what suits you best good luck with treatment age 72 location UK 14-2-2015 GT1a 6.8 kpa F1-F2 VL6.46 16-3-16 started 8wks Harvoin 2 wks VL unquantifiable 4 wks VL undetected 8 wks EOT Vl undetected 4 wks post. detected VL 4.07 relapsed 22-5-17 started re treatment via Redemption 2 ,meds via Monkmed 12 weeks Sof Dac+Rbv Riba via NHS Starting VL 4.25 log 6.63 ALT 88 Fibroscan F2- F3 8.9 kPa 2 wks VL 2.86 4 wks VL below detectable level changed Tx to Viekira+Sof+Rbv 6 wks VL undetected 13-9-17 EOT , ALT32, AST28 SVR 4 +12 | |
