Do you have to eat the 20 grams fat while taking Victrellis?
I went on the website and it said a snack is recommended , I think. My head is spinning w/tests, work prep and tx prep. Any info is appreciated.
nzm - that is exactly what I am doing -- a few bites of plain yogurt. I sure don't feel like anything more than that at 10 -- especially since sometimes I have to wake up to take it -- LOL - 10 is late. I will be glad when the time changes.

since the timing has the last dose taken late at night [10-11pm for me] can you suggest light snack? ive been having yogurt and milk with it, but then go to bed shortly after...
seem to be having nausea lately and more dry mouth and headache, so dont know if they are related.

Good luck on treatment, i also did Victrellis and now SVR.......... As for food, a snack is fine. Only the Incivek requires the 20 grams of fat.
Effects of Food on Oral Absorption
VICTRELIS should be administered with food. Food enhanced the exposure of boceprevir by up to 65% at the 800 mg three times daily dose, relative to the fasting state. The bioavailability of boceprevir was similar regardless of meal type (e.g., high-fat vs. low-fat) or whether taken 5 minutes prior to eating, during a meal, or immediately following completion of the meal. Therefore, VICTRELIS may be taken without regard to either meal type or timing of the meal.
