About Ribavirin.

Ribavirin is an active pharmaceutical ingredient rather than a distinct multi-drug therapeutic class; pharmacologically, it belongs to the broader class of synthetic guanosine nucleoside analogue antiviral agents.

It exerts broad-spectrum antiviral activity through multiple proposed mechanisms, including the inhibition of host inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase, suppression of viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, interference with viral RNA capping, and lethal viral mutagenesis.

Therapeutically, ribavirin is utilized orally in combination regimens for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus infection and as an aerosolized formulation for severe lower respiratory tract infections caused by respiratory syncytial virus.
