Ribavirin

Ribavirin is an antiviral medication used to treat certain viral infections, such as hepatitis C and some respiratory illnesses. It works by interfering with the virus's ability to multiply and spread within the body. Ribavirin is often combined with other medications for better effectiveness. It can be administered as an oral pill, inhalation, or injection, depending on the condition being treated. While effective, it may cause side effects like fatigue, anemia, or respiratory issues, so close medical supervision is necessary. Overall, ribavirin helps reduce viral load and improve health outcomes in infected individuals.
