WHAT MAVIRET IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Maviret is an antiviral medicine used to treat adults and children 3
years and older with long-term
(‘chronic’) hepatitis C. This is an infectious disease that
affects the liver, caused by the hepatitis C
virus. Maviret contains the active substances glecaprevir and
pibrentasvir.
Maviret works by stopping the hepatitis C virus from multiplying and
infecting new cells. This allows
the infection to be eliminated from the body.
