Tom, I was in the Turquoise Trial for cirrhotics. I cleared in the trial on Viekira Pak. There were no contraindications (except alcohol) or requirements to eat anything special. Some people find it helpful to eat if you are taking ribavirin and it is bothering your stomach. I had absolutely no problems.
