​The recommended dosage of MAVYRET in pediatric patients 12 years of age and older, or in pediatric patients weighing at least 45 kg, is three tablets taken at the same time once daily with food (total daily dose: glecaprevir 300 mg and pibrentasvir 120 mg).

​The dosages for pediatric patients are shown in Table 3.

1 Pediatric patients weighing 45 kg and greater who are unable to swallow tablets may take six 50 mg/20 mg packets of oral pellets once daily. Dosing with oral pellets has not been studied for pediatric patients weighing greater than 45 kg [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

2.5 Preparation and Administration of Oral Pellets

​See the MAVYRET oral pellets full Instructions for Use for details on the preparation and administration.

  • ​The oral pellets should be taken together, with food, once daily. In addition, the oral pellets for the total daily dose should be sprinkled on a small amount of soft food with a low water content that will stick to a spoon and should be swallowed without chewing (e.g., peanut butter, chocolate hazelnut spread, cream cheese, thick jam, or Greek yogurt).
  • ​The entire mixture of food and oral pellets should be swallowed within 15 minutes of preparation; the oral pellets should not be crushed or chewed.
  • ​Liquids or foods that would drip or slide off the spoon are not recommended as the drug may dissolve quickly and become less effective.

2.6 Liver or Kidney Transplant Recipients

​MAVYRET is recommended for 12 weeks in patients 3 years and older who are liver or kidney transplant recipients. A 16-week treatment duration is recommended in genotype 1-infected patients who are NS5A inhibitor-experienced without prior treatment with an NS3/4A protease inhibitor or in genotype 3-infected patients who are PRS treatment-experienced [see Clinical Studies (14.8)].

2.7 Hepatic Impairment

MAVYRET is contraindicated in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B or C) or those with any history of prior hepatic decompensation [see Contraindications (4), Warnings and Precautions (5.2), Use in Specific Populations (8.7) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
