About This Medication

# myAbbVie Assist Patient Guide: How to Get MAVYRET at Low or No Cost MAVYRET (glecaprevir/pibrentasvir) is a prescription medication used to treat chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in adults and children aged 3 years and older. The **myAbbVie Assist** program from AbbVie helps eligible patients get MAVYRET for **free** if they have limited or no insurance and meet income guidelines[1][2][6]. ## About MAVYRET **MAVYRET** is an oral antiviral treatment taken once daily with food for 8, 12, or 16 weeks, depending on your specific HCV genotype and liver condition. It works by blocking viral proteins essential for hepatitis C replication, offering a **pangenotypic** cure (treats all six major HCV genotypes) with high success rates—over 98% in clinical trials for many patients. Unlike older treatments, MAVYRET has **no restrictions on liver damage** (except decompensated cirrhosis) and minimal drug interactions[9]. Common side effects include headache, fatigue, and nausea, but it's generally well-tolerated. Always follow your doctor's instructions and full prescribing information[3][9]. Hepatitis C is a viral liver infection that can lead to serious complications like cirrhosis or liver cancer if untreated. MAVYRET provides a **short-course, ribavirin-free** option, making it accessible for treatment-naïve or experienced patients[7]. ## Who Qualifies for myAbbVie Assist?
