Overview
On 22 June 2021, the European Commission withdrew the marketing authorisation for Ribavirin Teva Pharma BV (ribavirin) in the European Union (EU). The withdrawal was at the request of the marketing authorisation holder, Teva B.V., which notified the European Commission of its decision not to market the product in the EU for commercial reasons.
Ribavirin Teva Pharma BV was granted marketing authorisation in the EU on 1 July 2009 for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C. The marketing authorisation was initially valid for a 5-year period. It was then granted unlimited validity in 2014.
Ribavirin Teva Pharma BV is a generic medicine of Rebetol.
The European Public Assessment Report (EPAR) for Ribavirin Teva Pharma BV is updated to indicate that the marketing authorisation is no longer valid.
