Overview

**Omega interferon + ribavirin** is a combination drug regimen investigated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Omega interferon (human interferon omega-1) is a type I interferon with antiviral, antiproliferative, and immunomodulatory effects. It exerts its action by binding to interferon receptors, inducing transcription of antiviral proteins and modulating the immune response. Ribavirin is a nucleoside analogue with broad-spectrum antiviral activity; it inhibits viral RNA synthesis and induces lethal mutagenesis in RNA viruses. When used together, omega interferon and ribavirin may have synergistic effects, enhancing sustained virologic response in HCV-infected patients. This combination has been studied in clinical trials for its efficacy in hepatitis C[2][1].
