How To Use
  • Take Rebetol by mouth usually twice daily with or without food or as directed by your doctor.
  • It is important to take Rebetol consistently either with food or without food.
  • Taking it inconsistently (sometimes with food, sometimes without food) may decrease the effectiveness and/or increase your risk of side effects.
  • It may be best to take Rebetol with food (more medicine might be absorbed into your bloodstream).
  • The dosage and length of treatment is based on your weight, medical condition, and response to therapy.
  • Antiviral medications work best when the amount of medicine in your body is kept at a constant level.
  • Therefore, take Rebetol at evenly spaced intervals.
  • It is recommended that female patients or female partners of male patients take a pregnancy test before Rebetol is started.
  • Refer to the pregnancy warning in the Precautions section (below).
  • Drink plenty of water while being treated with Rebetol; doing so will decrease the risk of serious side effects.

Side Effects
  • Nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, stomach upset, trouble sleeping, and flu-like symptoms (e.g., fever, chills, sore throat, muscle aches) may occur.
  • If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor.
  • Promptly tell your doctor if any of these side effects occur: hair loss, loss of appetite, weight loss, rash, itching, changes in taste or hearing.
  • Tell your doctor immediately if any of these serious side effects occur: unusual tiredness and weakness (fatigue), dark urine, yellowing eyes, mental/mood changes, trouble breathing.
  • Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: chest pain, muscle pain, joint pain, sinus problems (e.g., drainage, pain behind the eyes), rapid breathing, stomach pain.
  • If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Precautions
  • Rebetol is not recommended for use if you have the following medical conditions: severe heart disease, kidney disease, blood disorders (e.g., sickle cell anemia, low hemoglobin), other types of hepatitis (e.g., autoimmune hepatitis).
  • Tell your doctor your medical history, especially of: other liver problems, heart problems, breathing problems, pancreas problems (e.g., pancreatitis), diabetes, any allergies.
  • Caution is advised when using Rebetol in the elderly because they may be more sensitive to the side effects of Rebetol.
  • Rebetol must not be used during pregnancy.
  • Consult your doctor for more details and to discuss reliable forms of birth control.
  • It is recommended that men and women use two effective forms of birth control (e.g., latex condoms, birth control medication) while taking Rebetol since ribavirin may cause fetal harm.
  • These birth control measures should be used during treatment with, and for at least 6 months after using Rebetol.
  • It is not known whether Rebetol passes into breast milk.
  • Because of the potential risk to the infant, breast-feeding while using Rebetol is not recommended.

Missed Dose
  • If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember.
  • If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule.
  • Do not double the dose to catch up.

Drug Interactions

Additional Thoughts
I did a 6 month induction protocol using this drug combo in much higher doses then usual followed by 6 months of conventional dosage. I cleared the virus at great cost to my overall health. 6 years later I am still being treated for some of the long term side effects. I give this a 3 because I was not sick when I went into treatment, and although I was cured I was very sick for a long time afterwards.

Achy Flu feeling, nausous when hungry,insomnia

Additional Thoughts
I took this med with Interferon and was cured of Hep C in only 3 months, but still had to continue the meds for another 3 months. My side effects were not as bad as I heard they could have been, because I followed the directions by not drinking caffiene, I don't smoke or take any other drugs, and I made sure to drink lots or water and exercise. Since depression could have been a side effect, I avoided watching anything sad on TV or movies.
