How do I take VEMLIDY?

Take the same dose of VEMLIDY every day

VEMLIDY is one small tablet that you take once a day with food.

You must take VEMLIDY exactly how your doctor tells you to.

If you are on dialysis, on your dialysis days, take VEMLIDY after dialysis. It’s also important to take VEMLIDY on a regular dosing schedule to avoid missing doses.

Do not stop taking VEMLIDY unless your doctor tells you to. If you stop taking your medicine, your infection could get worse or flare up. A "flare-up" is when your hepatitis B virus infection suddenly returns in a worse way than before.

It is very important that you refill your prescription on time, before you run out. When your VEMLIDY supply starts to run low, get more from your doctor or pharmacy. Missing a dose could put you at risk of experiencing a “flare-up.”
