Overview

Rebetol 200mg Capsule is a prescription-only medicine (POM) that contains Ribavirin 200mg. It is supplied as a capsule and is dispensed in Malaysia only against a valid prescription issued by a registered doctor.

Under Malaysian rules for prescription medicines, this page carries product, safety and handling information only. Your doctor or pharmacist will explain whether this medicine is suitable for you, the dose you should take, and how long you should take it.

On DoctorOnCall, Rebetol 200mg Capsule is reviewed by a licensed doctor through an online consultation and dispensed by a registered pharmacist before delivery. Always follow the instructions on your prescription label and the package insert supplied with the product, and do not share this medicine with anyone else.

Directions for Use

Take Rebetol 200mg Capsule with food, as directed by your specialist, and always in combination with the other medicine(s) in your prescribed hepatitis C regimen – never on its own. Swallow the capsule whole with a full glass of water.

Dosage

The dose of Rebetol 200mg Capsule is individualised by your specialist based on your body weight and the specific combination regimen prescribed, taken as directed alongside your other hepatitis C medicine(s). Never adjust or stop your dose without consulting your treating doctor, as an incomplete course can allow the virus to persist.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

Side Effects

  • Fatigue, insomnia, or irritability
  • Nausea or loss of appetite
  • Dry or itchy skin
  • Symptoms of haemolytic anaemia such as unusual tiredness or breathlessness on exertion, due to red blood cell breakdown
  • Serious: chest pain, severe shortness of breath, signs of depression or suicidal thoughts (particularly with interferon combination), or severe abdominal pain require immediate medical attention

Contraindications

  • Pregnancy, and use in male patients whose female partners are pregnant, due to the risk of severe birth defects
  • Known hypersensitivity to ribavirin or any ingredient in this product
  • Haemoglobinopathies such as thalassaemia major or sickle cell disease, due to the risk of severe anaemia
  • Severe heart disease, autoimmune hepatitis, or severe kidney impairment

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Didanosine must not be combined with ribavirin due to a serious risk of mitochondrial toxicity, including lactic acidosis
  • Azathioprine combined with ribavirin may increase the risk of severe bone marrow suppression
  • Other medicines that suppress bone marrow function may add to the risk of anaemia, low white blood cells, or low platelets
  • Live vaccines should generally be avoided during treatment – discuss any vaccination plans with your doctor

Quick Tips

  • Use effective contraception during treatment and for at least 6 months after the last dose – this applies to both female patients and female partners of male patients
  • Attend all scheduled blood tests, as haemolytic anaemia is closely monitored throughout treatment
  • Report mood changes, sadness, or thoughts of self-harm to your doctor immediately, do not keep these to yourself
  • Never use this medicine as your only treatment for hepatitis C – it must always be combined with your other prescribed antiviral medicine(s)
  • Do not stop or skip doses of your combination regimen without speaking to your specialist first
