What is Ribavirin?
Active Ingredients: Ribavirin
Ribavirin Capsules are a drug used to treat some types of viral infections. It is used for the treatment of chronic Hepatitis C, severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in children, and certain viral hemorrhagic fevers. For the treatment of Hepatitis C, it is typically combined with other medications like simeprevir or sofosbuvir.
This medication is effective against Lassa fever, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, and Hantavirus infection; but it does not show action against Ebola or Marburg infection.
Ribavirin is a nucleoside analog that belongs to the class of medicines called antivirals. It works by interfering with viral replication in certain DNA and RNA viruses.
Ribavirin is also known by the name tribavirin.
