Overview
Ribasure 200mg Capsule is an antiviral medicine. It is used to treat chronic Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Ribasure 200mg prevents the multiplication of viruses in human cells, thereby clearing the infection. Ribasure capsule is used for people who have not been treated with an interferon before.
Hepatitis C
Pharmacotherapeutic group: Nucleosides and nucleotides (excl. reverse transcriptase inhibitors). Mechanism of Action: Ribavirin is a synthetic nucleoside analog that shows in vitro activity against some RNA and DNA viruses. The mechanism is unknown by which ribavirin exerts its effects against HCV.
HCV RNA levels decline in a biphasic manner in responding patients with hepatitis C who have received treatment with 180 µg peginterferon alfa-2a. The first phase of decline occurs 24 to 36 hours after the first dose of peginterferon alfa-2a and is followed by the second phase of decline which continues over the next 4 to 16 weeks in patients who gain a sustained response. Ribavirin showed no significant effect on the initial viral kinetics over the first 4 to 6 weeks in patients treated with the combination of Ribavirin and pegylated interferon alfa-2a or interferon alfa.
