Summary of the safety profile In pooled Phase 2 and 3 clinical studies of adult subjects receiving Maviret with genotype 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 HCV infection the most commonly reported adverse reactions (incidence ≥ 10%) were headache and fatigue.
1% of subjects treated with Maviret had serious adverse reactions (transient ischaemic attack). 1%. Tabulated list of adverse reactions The following adverse reactions were identified in registrational Phase 2 and 3 studies in HCV- infected adults with or without cirrhosis treated with Maviret for 8, 12 or 16 weeks, or during post- marketing experience.
The adverse reactions are listed below by body system organ class and frequency. Frequencies are defined as follows: very common (≥ 1/10), common (≥ 1/100 to < 1/10), uncommon (≥ 1/1 000 to < 1/100), rare (≥ 1/10 000 to < 1/1 000), very rare (< 1/10 000) or not known (cannot be estimated from the available data).

9%) in EXPEDITION-5. Adverse reactions in subjects with liver or kidney transplant The safety of Maviret was assessed in 100 post-liver or -kidney transplant adult recipients with genotypes 1, 2, 3, 4, or 6 chronic HCV infection without cirrhosis (MAGELLAN-2).
4. Missed dose In case a dose of Maviret is missed, the prescribed dose can be taken within 18 hours after the time it was supposed to be taken. If more than 18 hours have passed since Maviret is usually taken, the missed dose should not be taken and the patient should take the next dose per the usual dosing schedule.
Patients should be instructed not to take a double dose. If vomiting occurs within 3 hours of dosing, an additional dose of Maviret should be taken. If vomiting occurs more than 3 hours after dosing, an additional dose of Maviret is not needed.
2). 2). Hepatic impairment No dose adjustment of Maviret is required in patients with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh A). 2). 1). A 16-week treatment duration should be considered in genotype 3-infected patients who are treatment-experienced with peg-IFN + ribavirin +/- sofosbuvir, or sofosbuvir + ribavirin.
Patients with HIV-1 co-infection Follow the dosing recommendations in Tables 1 and 2. For dosing recommendations with HIV antiviral agents, refer to section

The overall safety profile in transplant recipients was comparable to that observed in subjects in the Phase 2 and 3 studies. Adverse reactions observed in greater than or equal to 5% of subjects receiving Maviret for 12 weeks were headache (17%), fatigue (16%), nausea (8%) and pruritus (7%).
Safety in HCV/HIV-1 co-infected subjects The overall safety profile in HCV/HIV-1 co-infected adult subjects (ENDURANCE-1 and EXPEDITION-2) was comparable to that observed in HCV mono-infected adult subjects. Paediatric population The safety of Maviret in HCV GT1-6 infected adolescents is based on data from a Phase 2/3 open-label study in 47 subjects aged 12 years to < 18 years treated with Maviret for 8 to 16 weeks (DORA Part 1).
The adverse reactions observed were comparable with those observed in clinical studies of Maviret in adults. 3% of subjects related to glecaprevir-mediated inhibition of bilirubin transporters and metabolism. Bilirubin elevations were asymptomatic, transient, and typically occurred early during treatment.
Bilirubin elevations were predominantly indirect and not associated with ALT elevations. 3% of subjects. Reporting of suspected adverse reactions Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important.
It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the national reporting system listed in Appendix V.
