| Patients with decompensated cirrhosis (Child-Pugh B and C) |

For those with severe renal impairment and end stage renal disease, no dose recommendation for Epclusa can be given due to higher exposures of the predominant sofosbuvir metabolite.
You should take Epclusa once a day on a regular dosing schedule with or without food. It is important not to miss or skip doses and to continue taking it for the duration recommended by your physician.
