I got one implanted in Delhi at Escorts Hospital in 2008. A single lead ICD, Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator capable of pacing and defibrillator (I am not sure if a pacemaker has only one function i.e. pacing) cost me approx Rs 450000 (USD 10000) including surgery. More complicated ones could cost double. In India you can negotiate the cost with representatives of different ICD brands and get a good deal. There are many models of ICDs with different battery life.
yes it is but the price is about 50-100usd per month instead of about 700-1000usd per month since there is so much competition of many brands in india so drug makers can t make same prices and must adapt to local market prices
baraclude lost patent recently so another brand from israel may be available worldwide soon of course at much cheaper price
My dad who is 81 years old in India is on Citilin 500mg daily. The neurologist prescribed it after he had TIA number of times. He used to get seizures like symptoms and loose his consciousness. He was bedridden and stopped walking completely. Now, he is up on his feet and doing his regular work after regular physiotherapy.
At first, he had trigeminal neuralgia and he was on carbamezapine 150mg twice daily and then 300mg twice daily. I just need to know how long he has to be on Citilin.
Two recent trials have compared the clinical outcomes of intensive lipid lowering with atorvastatin 80 mg/day and standard lowering with pravastatin 40 mg/day. In the Pravastatin or Atorvastatin Evaluation and Infection Therapy (PROVE IT) trial, patients with acute coronary artery syndromes were enrolled, and pravastatin lowered the low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol to 2.46 mmol/l, whereas atorvastatin lowered it to 1.60 mmol/l.
hi, anyone has switched between the above two brands for Hep B treatment? any implication if switch from e.g. Viread to Tenvir during the course of Hep B treatment (former USA vs latter India).
I do not believe that different statins have the same effect. In one huge survey, atorvastatin came out on top with the least side effects. Here is some info regarding your question which I found on the internet.....
Atorvastatin 10mg reduced LDL by 30-40% = equivalent to 20mg Simvastatin
Atorvastatin 40mg reduced LDL by 46-50% = equivalent to 80mg Simvastatin
Starting doses for each of the two statins are ....
Thanks for the reply. i am deeply grateful. The generic brands that are readily available in india & vietnam are not as readily available in Nigeria where i live and if available at all, the price will be suffocate an average patient. Somebody mentioned that a weekly dose costs about N96000($600/week) and for a total course of 96 weeks, the cumulative cost will be unbearable for many
Can i get it cheaper at your end.
He is now normaland fully fit to do cycling and other normal activities.Doctors in India made coronary angiogram and the report is as follows:LMCA:normal, LAD:mid segment shows 75% stenosis, Diagonals-D1 origin shows 90% stenosis LCX:non dominant-mid segment shows minor plaques, RCA:dominant-Proximal segment shows 99% stenosis.
//www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5033144/ You can copy and paste that article. It's supposed to be fairly modest. This article also talks about increased effect and blood levels of atorvastatin with this combination. https://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/lipitor-with-prilosec-276-128-1750-1118.html
I would talk to your doctor before doing this though to be on the same page.
up please any one have an idea?
I have used 10mg Atorvastatin for years with no side effects. The doctor is switching me to simvastatin which reacted badly with my liver in the past. Aim is to save money. Is it safe to buy Atorvastatin online ?
