What is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Copegus Overview
Ribavirin is used in combination with other antiviral medications (such as interferon, sofosbuvir) to treat chronic (long-lasting) hepatitis C, a viral infection of the liver. Chronic hepatitis C infection can cause serious liver problems such as scarring (cirrhosis), or liver cancer. Ribavirin works by reducing the amount of hepatitis C virus in your body, which may help your liver recover. It is not known if this treatment can prevent you from passing the virus to others. Do not share needles, and practice "safer sex" (including the use of latex condoms) to lower the risk of passing the virus to others.
Copegus Warnings
Ribavirin may cause birth defects and/or death in unborn babies that are exposed to it during pregnancy. If you or your sexual partner are or may be pregnant, do not take ribavirin, and contact your doctor right away. Women using Copegus must avoid pregnancy by using reliable forms of birth control during treatment and for 9 months after Copegus is stopped. Men using Copegus must avoid causing pregnancy by using reliable forms of birth control during treatment and for 6 months after Copegus is stopped. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more information. Patients with certain types of heart disease should not use ribavirin because it can lower your red blood cell level (anemia). This may worsen your condition and can lead to a possibly fatal heart attack. Before using Copegus, tell your doctor if you have had any heart problems or chest pain. Ribavirin should never be used alone to treat hepatitis C infections.
How to Use Copegus
Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start taking ribavirin and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Also read the drug information for your other antiviral medication(s). Take Copegus by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually twice daily with food. The dosage and length of treatment is based on your age, weight, medical condition, and response to treatment. If Copegus comes in a dosing package, carefully follow the directions on the dosing package unless your doctor directs you otherwise. Copegus works best when the amount of drug in your body is kept at a constant level. Take Copegus at evenly spaced intervals. To help you remember, take it at the same times each day. Continue to take ribavirin and your other antiviral medication(s) for the full length of time prescribed, even if your symptoms disappear after a short time. Stopping any of the drugs too early may result in a return of the infection. Drink plenty of water while being treated with Copegus. Doing so will decrease the risk of serious side effects. Since Copegus can be absorbed through the skin and lungs and may harm an unborn baby, women who are pregnant or who may become pregnant should not handle Copegus or breathe the dust from the tablets.
