FDA OKs 8 Weeks of Mavyret for Hep C Treatment First-Timers
« on: October 23, 2019, 10:32:15 am »

The new drug indication applies to adults and to children who are at least 12 years old or weigh at least 99 pounds and to those without cirrhosis or who have compensated cirrhosis, the milder form of the severe liver disease.

Mavyret was first approved in 2017.
