1. What is Ribanic?
The main ingredient in Ribanic is the active ingredient Ribavirin, which is an antiviral drug with broad spectrum activity and low toxicity. The active ingredient Ribavirin is active against at least 20 different RNA and DNA viruses in vitro. In vivo studies have demonstrated a broad spectrum of activity against both RNA and DNA viruses.
Clinical results have demonstrated the effectiveness of Ribavirin when used by different routes and formulations (including oral, topical, nebulized and intravenous). The drug is effective against viral hepatitis A, B and C; chicken pox; measles; Herpes zoster; Herpes simplex types I and II ; influenza A, B; respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and many viruses that cause dengue fever.
Ribavirin is structurally similar to Nucleotide guanosine, one of the four basic components of RNA. RNA is an essential part of protein synthesis, as is the messenger with the genetic code of RNA and DNA viruses.
Ribavirin inhibits RNA messenger, prevents viral replication and stops infection. Ribavirin blocks viral replication but does not affect normal cell function.
Ribavirin has had a broad spectrum of antiviral activity in in vitro and in vivo studies, inhibiting viral replication in hepatitis B virus in the "woodchuck" subtype.
Ribavirin can produce clinically significant efficacy in patients with chronic hepatitis C.
A very important property of Ribavirin is that the virus cannot produce mutants resistant to this drug. This may be the result of a variety of mechanisms for the antiviral activity of the drug.
Ribavirin does not cause any serious side effects if used in doses similar to those used in humans under clinical conditions.
