250 PART 5 Antiviral Drugs administered with oral ribavirin, can exacerbate this effect because they cause cytopenias as well. Ribavirin is also associated with fatigue, headaches, and insomnia, though it is difficult to determine whether ribavirin itself, interferons, or the combination are responsible. In practice it does not matter as the effects must be managed during combination therapy. ■■ Important Facts • Ribavirin must always be used in combination with pegylated interferon for the treatment of HCV infection. As monotherapy, ribavirin rapidly leads to resistant-mutants of HCV. • Ribavirin causes birth defects and is pregnancy category X. Fertile women taking ribavirin should use reliable contraception. Pregnant women must also avoid aerosolized ribavirin and pregnant healthcare workers should avoid caring for patients receiving it, if possible. • The primary means of managing ribavirininduced anemia is dose-reduction. While it seems natural to be concerned that this may lead to a loss of effectiveness, that is not the case (in fact, the opposite may be true). If anemia becomes severe or persistent, erythropoietin can be given. • Aerosolized ribavirin is principally used to treat RSV infection in young children, but it has also been used to treat RSV in immunocompromised adults, most notably patients with lung or hematopoietic stem cell transplants.
chapter 38 Ribavirin 251 What They’re Good For Ribavirin is currently part of the regimen of choice for all genotypes in HCV chronic infection. Aerosolized ribavirin is used to treat severe RSV in both children and adults, primarily immunocompromised patients or those with severe comorbidities. Don’t Forget! Hemoglobin concentrations must be closely watched during ribavirin therapy. Expect some degree of anemia to occur and be prepared to act accordingly.
