Has anyone experienced a rash while on harvoni?

I just started my 2nd month of treatment and have started a very itchy rash on my arm & leg. Wondering if anyone else has had this happen?

  1. Bambilw, thanks for posting your question. Itchy skin is certainly common, talk to you Dr if it becomes worse or not manageable. Here is an article that might help- https://hepatitisc.net/living/dry-itching-skin-solutions/ Additionally, I thought this question that was asked would be helpful too- https://hepatitisc.net/q-and-a/itching/
    Reach out anytime. Best, Lauren (HepatitisC.net Team)

    1. I know this post is old but I am on Vosevi and its got 2 of the same ingredients. I am going crazy with rash and itching.

      1. My husband got really bad rashes all over his whole body especially as arms after finishing up his harvoni

        1. Hi Charlie, thanks for posting and we're sorry to hear that your husband is experiencing rashes from Harvoni. Skin irritation and rashes are common with hepatitis C and can also come up during treatment, as unfortunately other users in this thread and your husband know first-hand. I wanted to link two articles we have on our website that may offer insights into managing the rashes. This article covers how skin is affected by hepatitis C and offers tips for management. A community member wrote this article on treating common skin issues too. I hope these can offer solutions to stop your husband's discomfort. Please let us know how he's doing as he finishes treatment. The hepatitisc.net community is here for you both. Best, Matt (HepatititsC.net, Team Member)
