What Causes Light Colored Stool When On Solvaldi And Olysio?
My husband has cirrhosis and hepatitis c and is taking the off market combo off Solvaldi and Olysio. He has been on the treatment for 2 weeks and the last 3 days his stools have changed to a very light color. I wanted to know if this could be normal with this treatment or should we contact his doctor. My husband is 65 years old and has had hep c for 35 years and has history of drinking. His bilirubin is 2.3, inr 1.3 and albumin 0.63 which comes out to a meld score of 12. He also has F-3 varcies and a 1.5 in.portal vein blood clot. Thank you

Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your physician I completely understand your health concerns.
Sovaldi do not cause light colour stools , it is due to the liver problem. there might be dark colour urine associated with itching over the body.
meet your doctor for it. do not stop the sovaldi.
Meanwhile stay calm
May he get well soon
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
