Ribba received this month look different?
Hi everyone,
I posted on the other side too.
I just rec'd a 2 nd bottle of Ribba yesterday from Curascript, it is white capsule, each 2 times bigger, on the capsule has letter ZA-12 one line the next line 200 mg. My old medicine, is smaller and has the word Ribavirin 200mg on one line, and GG 608 on next line.
The print label on both bottles have the same info like Dr's name, my name, and instruction how to take them except the box that said Rx# is difference. 1st bottle RX: 150411, 2nd bottle RX:162648. I'll will call the pharmacy when they open. Just wonder if you guys receive medicine diff each month? Do you have same one that I just receive (ZA-12, 200mg...)
I feel hesitate to take it. Any input ?

Ribavirin capsules or tablets should be kept at room temperature between 59—86 degrees F. Tell them to toss um out and you want them replaced.
My pharmacy accidentally put my ribavirin in the refrigerator for a week or two. They say it is okay, but I don't like this. I think I will not pick it up. Any thoughts about this? I figure I don't put sugar or flour in my refrigerator because it can be damaged, so what about ribavirin?
There are different generics. My partner was given two different ones and has had different side effects from them, so you may want to do some tracking of whether they affect you differently if you try a new one.
