Description
Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics:
Ribavirin is a broad-spectrum antiviral agent that works by inhibiting the replication of RNA and DNA viruses. It exerts its therapeutic effects by interfering with viral RNA synthesis and viral protein synthesis, ultimately preventing the virus from multiplying and spreading within the body. Ribavirin’s mechanism of action makes it effective against various viral infections, including respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and certain hemorrhagic fevers.
Drug Classification:
Ribavirin belongs to the class of medications known as nucleoside analogues, which are synthetic compounds that mimic the structure of natural nucleosides. These compounds interfere with viral replication by disrupting nucleic acid synthesis, making them potent antiviral agents against a wide range of viruses.
