ribavirin pregnancy

The manufacturer of products containing ribavirin (Schering Corp.) maintains a registry for pregnancy-related exposures in females and males. If pregnancy occurs in a patient or partner of a patient during treatment or the 6 months after treatment cessation, patients or their clinicians can call (800) ***-****. A separate Ribavirin Pregnancy Registry can be contacted at (800) ***-****, or online http://www.****.com. Best of luck to you!

6 months. That's why pregnancy is not recommended until 6 months after finishing treatment.

You or your healthcare provider should contact the ribavirin pregnancy registry by calling 1-800-593-2214. The ribavirin pregnancy registry collects information about what happens to mothers and their babies if the mother takes ribavirin while she is pregnant.

I am in a similar situation, Ribavirin IV 10 days into pregnancy, what did you find out?

Ribavirin Pregnancy Warnings Ribavirin has been assigned to pregnancy category X by the FDA. Nearly all animal studies have revealed evidence of embryolethality and teratogenicity. There are no controlled data in human pregnancies. One published case reports the uneventful use of ribavirin at 33 weeks gestation. Ribavirin therapy is contraindicated in women who are pregnant and in the male partners of women who are pregnant.

If you have a partner who can become pregnant, you should not start taking ribavirin until a pregnancy test shows that she is not pregnant. You must use two forms of birth control, including a condom with spermicide during your treatment and for 6 months afterward. Your partner must be tested for pregnancy every month during this time. Call your doctor immediately if your partner becomes pregnant. Ribavirin may cause harm or death to the fetus.

Significant teratogenic and/or embryocidal effects have been demonstrated in all animal species exposed to Ribavirin. In addition, Ribavirin has a multiple dose half-life of 12 days, and it may persist in non-plasma compartments for as long as 6 months. Therefore, Ribavirin, including Ribavirin tablets, is contraindicated in women who are pregnant and in the male partners of women who are pregnant.

I am 30 years old and have finished Peg Interferon and Ribavirin treatment for Hepatitis C Genotype 2(24 weeks) about 6 months ago. I have had no virus detectable since about 8 weeks in the treatment. I want to become pregnant now. What are the risk factors?

I was just wondering how long some of you took the ribavirin after your last shot. I'm going to call the Dr. On Monday and ask. But I'm just a little anxious, my last shot is Mon. night. Thank you!

I am running short on my Ribavirin. Does anyone know of any resources? What would be the least expensive way, assuming that my doc won't give my Rx.

hey everybody. I was wondering if anyone feels like telling me about their experance with pregnancy and child-birth with hep-c. is the baby positive? what's the gig with breast feading? do you (the mother) get worse symptoms? does it progress the illness? what's the real deal?

Understand, BUT forget the pregnancy; this is telling me that the ribavirin is trapped inside of the red blood cells for the life time of the cell and when its life is over the cell is degraded by the spleen and in doing so the ribavirin escapes (or is unable to be degraded fully by the spleen) and then is released back into the body to find a newly produced red blood cell, or am I missing something? Another thing I am curious about is if the ribavirin enters tissues, brain etc.
