Ribavirin is an anti-viral drug indicated for severe RSV (Human respiratory syncytial virus) infection, hepatitis C infection and other viral infections. Ribavirin is a prodrug, which when metabolised resembles purine RNA nucleotides. In this form it interferes with RNA metabolism required for viral replication.
