What is Ribavirin?

Ribavirin is a prescription drug prescribed in combination with an interferon to patients with chronic hepatitis C infection. Interferon products taken with Ribavirin may include peginterferon alfa-2a (Pegasys) or peginterferon alpha-2b (PEG-Intron). Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. Over time, the infection destroys liver tissues, leaving behind scar tissue (cirrhosis) until the liver can no longer perform its vital functions. Ribavirin reduces the hepatitis C virus in the body by blocking its ability to produce more virus particles.

Ribavirin is taken as a tablet once daily. The exact dosage and duration of treatment will depend on a number of factors including body weight of the patient, genotype of the patient, response to treatment, side effects, and the presence of an HIV coinfection. Consult a healthcare provider for proper dosage and administration instructions. 

What are the side effects of Ribavirin?

The most common side effects of Ribavirin include, but are not limited to, flu symptoms, fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, headache, muscle pain, stomach pain, dry mouth, insomnia, and cough.

Tell your doctor if you have breathing problems, vision problems, thyroid problems, heart problems, diabetes, liver problems, mental health problems, kidney problems, infection with hepatitis B virus, or any other medical condition before taking Ribavirin.
