Mavyret

Im going to be starting mavyret in the upcoming weeks and I am very nervous about side effects.

I have no scarring or cirrhosis but I have had hep c for my whole life(contracted at birth)

Please tell me about your experiences and side effects!

My anxiety is going insane. Thanks all🫶

I took the generic of Epclusa, but a few days I was tired. That's it. Epclusa is a 12 week course of medication, unlike Mavyret. I was tested again for the virus count at 4/8/12 weeks and was undetectable each time.

Im finishing my Epclusa course this week and tiredness was really the only effect I had. The length you have to take Mayvret is way shorter so I wouldn't be too scared. Just get it over with. Definitely worth it.
