Rebetol (generically known as ribavirin) is an antiviral medication used together with other antiviral medications (such as interferon or sofosbuvir) to treat chronic (long-lasting) hepatitis. It works by slowing the growth of the virus and stimulating the body’s immune system to fight the infection. It reduces the amount of hepatitis C virus in the body, which may help the liver recover.
Ribavirin is a synthetic antiviral nucleoside analog that must be used in combination with other antiviral medications, such as interferons, to effectively treat chronic hepatitis C viral infection. Ribavirin triphosphate, the active metabolite of ribavirin, inhibits viral mRNA polymerase and reduces the production of the hepatitis C virus.
Use Rebetol only as directed by your doctor. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on your medical condition and response to therapy. Take Rebetol capsules by mouth with food, usually twice a day (morning and evening). Swallow the capsules whole with a full glass of water. Do not crush, break, or chew the capsules.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and Continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not stop taking Rebetol without first consulting your doctor, even if you start feeling better. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully for the best possible results and to avoid any potential side effects.
