View company portfolio →What Riba (Ribavirin) is used for
Ribavirin is an antiviral medicine from the nucleoside analogue group. It slows down how fast some viruses, including the hepatitis C virus, copy themselves inside the body. It comes as tablets, capsules and a liquid to swallow, and there is also a form given into a vein. It is a specialist medicine: it is started and checked by a hospital or liver clinic team, with regular blood tests. It can seriously harm an unborn baby, so strict pregnancy rules apply to both women and men who take it.
- Long-lasting (chronic) hepatitis C, but only together with other hepatitis C medicines, never on its own
- Hepatitis E, where specialist liver teams may use it on its own
- Some viral haemorrhagic fevers, such as Lassa fever, in specialist hospital care (see the note below on how strong the evidence is)
Get medical help straight away if
- Call an ambulance or go to the emergency department for chest pain, a fast or uneven heartbeat, or severe shortness of breath. Ribavirin can cause anaemia, which can make heart problems worse and lead to a heart attack.
- Get emergency help for signs of a severe allergic reaction: swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat, wheezing, or trouble breathing or swallowing. Stop taking it.
- Get emergency help straight away for thoughts of harming yourself or ending your life. Ask a family member or friend to watch for signs of depression or changes in behaviour.
- Contact a doctor urgently for severe stomach pain, blood in your stools, or black tarry stools.
