THERE ARE 2 STEPS TO COMPLETE BEFORE STARTING MAYZENT
STEP 1: PRETESTS

BLOOD TESTS
Before beginning MAYZENT, a few simple blood tests are needed.
-
Identify your genotype* to determine if MAYZENT is right for you, and which dose to take
-
Check for antibodies to varicella zoster virus (VZV)
-
Check your liver function
-
Obtain a complete blood count
To make these blood tests as easy as possible, you can complete all of the testing at your doctor’s office or at a single in-home visit. Genotype testing is also available at any local LabCorp or Quest Diagnostics location.†
No matter which option you choose, Novartis will cover the cost of genetic type testing.

EYE EXAM
An eye exam will look for preexisting conditions and help monitor potential changes

ECG
An electrocardiogram (ECG) will test whether you will need to take extra care if you have certain heart conditions
Prior to or shortly after initiation: Skin examination baseline should be obtained. Any suspicious skin lesion observed should be promptly evaluated.
STEP 2: START TAKING MAYZENT

MAINTENANCE DOSE
Then, you’ll take your regular once-daily oral MAYZENT dose as prescribed.
Titration is important so do not skip this step. Your doctor will walk you through this process, and your Coordinator can help with any questions you might have.
A few notes:
-
MAYZENT can be taken with or without food
-
Although most people starting MAYZENT will not need to be monitored after taking their first dose, it’s required for some people.‡ Your doctor will tell you if it’s necessary
-
If you miss 1 or more doses of MAYZENT during titration, you’ll need to restart titration
-
If you miss a dose of MAYZENT after titration is complete, take it as soon as you remember
-
If you stop taking MAYZENT for 4 or more days in a row, you’ll need to restart titration
Always follow your doctor’s instructions, and do not change your dose or stop taking MAYZENT unless your doctor tells you to.

“MAYZENT is one pill, once a day. I take it in the morning as part
of my daily routine, it helps me to stay on track with treatment.”
