Contraindications
Roferon-A is contraindicated in patients with:
- Hypersensitivity to Roferon-A or any of its components
- Autoimmune hepatitis
- Hepatic decompensation (Child-Pugh class B and C) before or during treatment
Roferon-A is contraindicated in neonates and infants because it contains benzyl alcohol. Benzyl alcohol is associated with an increased incidence of neurologic and other complications in neonates and infants, which are sometimes fatal.[1]
