<sub>It is a kind of broad-spectrum antiviral drugs for treating influenza (influenza A and B viruses), adenovirus pneumonia, hepatitis, herpes, measles with prevention and treatment effect; it is also effective on treating the epidemic hemorrhagic fever, particularly effective treatment of patients in their early stages. Oral administration can cause diarrhea without other significant toxicity but may cause neutropenia. Large dose can inhibit the maturation of hemoglobin and red blood cells, causing reversible anemia. There have been reports regarding to the teratogenicity and embryo toxicity in animal experiments. Pregnant women should be hanged. 
Ribavirin is a broad-spectrum antiviral nucleoside drug used for treating influenza, adenovirus pneumonia of children, viral hepatitis, respiratory syncytial virus infection, acute keratitis, conjunctivitis, epidemic hemorrhagic fever and herpes zoster. 


Uses Purine nucleoside analog; inhibits inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH). Used as an antiviral agent. 
Uses aldosterone antagonist; antifibrogenic
Uses anti-infective, anti-fungal
Uses A broad spectrum antiviral nucleoside and inhibitor of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase. 
Definition ChEBI: A 1-ribosyltriazole that is the 1-ribofuranosyl derivative of 1, 2, 4-triazole-3-carboxamide. An inhibitor of HCV polymerase. 
Uses Ribavirin is a guanosine analog with antiviral properties against DNA and RNA viruses, including respiratory syncytial virus, hepatitis C, and influenza. It acts as a prodrug that can be activated by either mono- or tri-phosphorylation by cellular kinases. These phosphorylated derivatives of ribavirin have diverse effects on both cellular and viral enzymes, resulting in suppression of viral replication.</sub>
