How does this medicine work?

Ribavirin stops the virus from making new copies by interfering with its genetic material. This reduces the amount of virus in your body and helps your immune system fight the infection.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Tell your doctor about all medicines you are taking. Some medicines can affect how this medicine works. In particular, this medicine should not be combined with didanosine (an antiviral medicine for HIV), as this combination can cause serious liver problems, nerve damage, and inflammation of the pancreas. Taking this medicine with zidovudine (another antiviral medicine for HIV) can increase the risk of anemia and reduce zidovudine's effectiveness, so regular blood tests are necessary to monitor your health during treatment.

Interactions with food items

No significant food interactions. You may take this medicine with or without food as advised by your doctor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Ribavirin takes time to work. The effects may be noticed over weeks to months of treatment. It is important to complete the full course as prescribed by your doctor, even if you feel better.
Women can only take this medicine if they are not pregnant and will not become pregnant. Two reliable forms of birth control must be used during treatment and for 6 months after. All women of childbearing age must have a negative pregnancy test before starting and during treatment.
No. Ribavirin is an antiviral medicine, not a steroid. It works by stopping the virus from multiplying, not by reducing inflammation.
