|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Immunomodulators (historical - HCV treatment | PEG-interferon-alpha 2a (pegasys) or 2b (pegintron | binds cell surface interferon receptors , anti viral/antiproliferative and immunomodulatory action | influenza like symptoms AND dose limiting TOX of myelosuppression, CNS effects, antoimmune disorders | CI in patients with hyperbilirubinemia, PEG makes interferon half life very long, not much used | |
| Nucleoside analogue (adjuctive) - HCV treatment | Ribavirin (rebetol, copegus) | possibly inhibits HCV polymerase at NS5B | opportunistic infections, BOXED WARNING: AVOID as monotherapy (ineffective), hemolytic anemia - leading to MI, and teratogenic | avoid in CrCl under 50, avoid using with azathioprine, cardiac, pulmonary, immune, psych, dysfunction or elderly and pediatric | is a ribofuranosyl triazole derivative |
