very interesting trial, although on hbv ezetimibe might be weaker.for those not aware of ezetimibe studies

He says I can monitor for now or start treatment if I want to, but there is no urgency,
Nevertheless, he brought up the topic of being part of a trial of two peg-interferon, which he called peg-intf 2A and 2B. I cannot remember all the details, but briefly, one is by Roche and the other by Merck. Sounded like trial to compare efficacy.
The accepted participants will either receive 2A or 2B for 1 year with regular doctor monitoring.
no study for its activity on hbv, we do know it has activity but the trial has never started
simvastatin lowers hcc 50% and prevents fibrosis/cirrhosis so it is indicated on all hbver, this has thousands of pateints studied for decades to find this data on hcc
you better use simvastatin instead other statins, also ezetimibe has in vitro effect on hbv so these are the best choices on hbvers
also statins like simvastatin were reported to boost response a little but better not mix 2 statins, in a report researchers of ezetimibe effect on hbv and hcv suggested the use of ezetimibe with interferon but without simvastin
ezetimibe dose is 10-20mg daily but human trials with dose 50mg daily for a limited time did not find any sides or toxicity
There was an in vitro study on ezetimibe inhibiting HBV DNA production. The ed50 was fairly low and in a similar range as lamuvidine. So it looked very interesting. But in an in vitro study you have a constant exposure to the drug, which is impossible to achieve in vivo. And the cells used are not the same as regular hepatocytes in human liver, with many differences in gene expression and cellular physiology.
The FDA-approved drug ezetimibe (sold under the trade-name Zetia) is readily available and perfectly targeted to the receptor, Sainz said, so the researchers had an ideal method for testing NPC1L1's involvement in HCV infection.
The researchers showed that ezetimibe inhibited HCV infection in cell culture and in mice transplanted with human liver cells. And, unlike any currently available drugs, ezetimibe was able to inhibit infection by all six types of HCV.
You could consider going for a higher dose of Lipitor, another way to go is to consider taking a drug that limits cholesterol absorption such as Ezetimibe. There is a combination drug Simvastatin and ezetimibe that may be better in controlling cholesterol. Discuss these drugs with your doctor.
Best of luck to you. Stay positive.
Crestor is a statin (rosuvastatin calcium) only, Vytorin is a statin (Simvastatin) with Zetia (ezetimibe). Statins work by controlling the production of cholesterol in your liver while Zetia works by preventing cholesterol to be absorbed in your digestive system.
Of the two, Crestor is the stronger of the two. In addition, recent trials have shown that adding Zetia does not improve the performance of Vytorin over Simvastatin alone.
One is very sharp and high contrast, while the other seems fairly sharp but lower contrast. When reading type, the second image appears to be offset by about half a character width, and it could be offset in any direction from the clearer image.
I visited the optometrist to evaluate how I am doing one week after getting the trial lenses.
I get these random piercing sharp pains that feel like they are in my vagina? They go away after a couple seconds but dang they really are a pain. Also any tips for back pain and I'm having this morning sickness and I NEED help.
About two years ago my doctor added ezetimibe to my regimen. It has been lowering my bad cholesterol how ever the first of this month I missed taking them for about a week and for the first time in years I felt less fatigued. I do have Fibromyalgia which is usually the cause of my fatigue, but this is a different type of fatigue. I have not restarted either of the cholesterol meds back because I have felt so much better. I know I need to talk to my doctor about it.
I had very high cholesterol, due to familial hypercholesterolemia, and living on just salad for weeks did nothing for the levels. Statins have worked wonders in bringing the levels down but I also take Ezetimibe which slows absorption of fats through the gut lining. Now I can basically eat what I want and my cholesterol levels are always within the range required.
Cholesterol in the blood is not the cause of disease, it's like a side effect from the initial problem.
On the helpful advice of Jodie on this forum I enquired about different lenses and (over the phone) was told that my opticians would order me a trial of some 14 hour ones as mine were only meant to be worn for maximum of 8 hours and I'd been overdoing it.
They gave me a free trial sample box of 5 lenses which are called CibaVision Dailies AquaComfort Plus.
