Ribavirin Injection

Function and Efficacy

Antiviral drug. It has the effect of inhibiting the growth of many viruses such as respiratory syncytial virus, influenza virus, hepatitis A virus, adenovirus, etc. in vitro, and its mechanism is not fully understood. This product does not change the adsorption, invasion and uncoating of viruses, nor does it induce the production of interferon. After entering the virus-infected cells, the drug is rapidly phosphorylated, and its product acts as a competitive inhibitor of viral synthase, inhibiting inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase, influenza virus RNA polymerase and mRNA guanosine transferase, thereby causing a decrease in intracellular guanosine triphosphate, impairing viral RNA and protein synthesis, and inhibiting viral replication and transmission. It may also have an immune effect and neutralizing antibody effect on respiratory syncytial virus.
