Combination therapy with ribavirin and an alpha interferon should be discontinued in patients who develop new or worsening eye disorders.

Reminder: Please read the ?Take special care? section of the Package Leaflet for interferon alfa-2b before you begin combination treatment.

Taking other medicines

Please tell your doctor or pharmacist if you or the child you are caring for:

• are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription.
• are receiving azathioprine in combination with ribavirin and pegylated alpha interferons and, therefore may be at an increased risk of developing severe blood disorders.
• are infected with both Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV-positive) and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) and are being treated with an anti-HIV medicinal product(s) ? [nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor ( NRTI), and/or highly active anti-retroviral therapy ( HAART)]:
• Taking Ribavirin Teva Pharma B.V. in combination with an alpha interferon and an anti-HIV medicinal product(s) may increase the risk of lactic acidosis, liver failure, and blood abnormalities development (reduction in number of red blood cells which carry oxygen, certain white blood cells that fight infection, and blood clotting cells called platelets).
• With zidovudine or stavudine, it is not certain if Ribavirin Teva Pharma B.V. will change the way these medicines work. Therefore, your blood will be checked regularly to be sure that the HIV infection is not getting worse. If it gets worse, your doctor will decide whether or not your Ribavirin Teva Pharma B.V. treatment needs to be changed. Additionally, patients receiving zidovudine with ribavirin in combination with alpha interferons could be at increased risk of developing anaemia (low number of red blood cells). Therefore the use of zidovudine and ribavirin in combination with alpha interferons is not recommended.
• Due to the risk of lactic acidosis (a build-up of lactic acid in the body) and pancreatitis, the use of ribavirin and didanosine is not recommended and the use of ribavirin and stavudine should be avoided.
• Co-infected patients with advanced liver disease receiving (HAART) may be at increased risk of worsening liver function. Adding treatment with alfa interferons alone or in combination with ribavirin may increase the risk in this patient subset.

Reminder: Please read the ?Taking other medicines? section of the Package Leaflet for interferon alfa-2b before you begin combination treatment.
