Peramivir, sold under the brand name Rapivab, is an antiviral used to treat influenza.[1] It should be given within two days of the start of symptoms.[1] Evidence does not support its use for prevention.[1] It is given by gradual injection in to a vein.[2]
Common side effects include low neutrophils, trouble sleeping, and nausea.[2][1] Other side effects may include abnormal behavior.[1] Serious side effects may include anaphylaxis and Stevens-Johnson syndrome.[2] It does not appear to be harmful in pregnancy, but such use has not been well studied.[3] It is a neuraminidase inhibitor that is active against both influenza A and B viruses.[1]
Peramivir was approved for medical use in the United States in 2014.[1] While it was approved in Europe in 2018, this approval was subsequently withdrawn.[4] In the United States it costs about 1,000 USD per dose as of 2021.[5]
