Françoise Stanke-Labesque et al. Fundam Clin Pharmacol. 2010 Aug.

Abstract

Recent studies suggest the potential interest of ribavirin therapeutic drug monitoring to improve sustain virological response rate in hepatitis C virus-infected patients. The present review details the pharmacokinetic properties of ribavirin, suggesting that it may be a good candidate for therapeutic drug monitoring, the different possible strategies and the analytical methods that could be employed.
