Common questions about Olysio (simeprevir)

Olysio (simeprevir) is a antiviral medication that stops hepatitis C virus (HCV) from making copies of itself in your liver. It was not a full regimen on it's own and had to be taken with peginterferon (an injection HCV medication) and ribavirin (another oral medication).

No, there are no brand or generic versions available in the U.S.

Olysio (simeprevir) had to be taken with 2 medications, peginterferon and ribavirin, which have a lot of side effects. Once newer oral medications with high cure rates were available, people stopped using injectable medications like peginterferon. It's likely the manufacturer stopped making Olysio (simeprevir) due to the lack of demand.
