Avatar n tn Is there any medcation as mentioned above can cause this as side effect? Any other suggestion? Please reply.
Avatar f tn I was put on Mavik and another drug, but on very low doses because the meds lower my blood pressure. I than went for another Echo 6 months later. My EF at this time was 65% and so they left me on the pills. I was wondering what my next move should be, because I really don't want to stay on these pills any longer than I need to be because of how low they make my blood pressure, I often get light headed. Any suggestions would be a huge help thanks.
Avatar f tn Thank you Barb135. I did recently have my thyroxine dose increased. The waking sweating was happening long before that. Also, I don't sweat any other time during the day. Whilst my TSH was within the 'normal' range on my medication I was exhibiting all the signs of being hypo thyroid...hair loss, high cholesterol, exhaustion, drooping eyelids, sore muscles, sore joints, and worse, poor cognitive abilities.
Avatar f tn so i missed my dose of rivoferion last night fell asleep noticed this morning that i didnt take it. so nov.11th is is my last dose,by missing this dose did i just screw up my tx.i sure hope not!!!! and this is the first x.
Avatar m tn This can increase the risk of serious side effects such as irregular heart rhythm, fluid retention, swelling, heart failure, and excessively low blood pressure. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience sudden, unexplained weight gain; swelling of the hands, ankles, or feet; chest pain; or difficulty breathing during treatment with these medications.
Avatar m tn In reality that is the dose exposed to at the skin on the beam side, and the dose decreases with tissue depth as some of the radiation is absorbed at each level as it penetrates tissue and is therefore gone and cannot expose the deeper tissues. Many people don't understand this, but tissues actually absorb radiation, and only a small % of the radiation exits the body to form the image. Say 100% radiation enters the skin, maybe a few percent leaves on the backside.
Avatar f tn A quarter grain is a very conservative dose, but I could be more specific if you post the lab work that led to her decision (with reference ranges from your own lab report, please). "She is also waiting 6 weeks to recheck and then only doing TSH as she says I don't need the T3 and T4 checked anymore since surgery." Six weeks is too long when actively adjusting meds. Four weeks is plenty of time. She's dead wrong about just testing TSH.

Once you get you dose right, stay on that for about 5-7 days then start dropping down til you get to about 4-6 mgs and level off at that for awhile.
Avatar f tn i am a non responder,after 2 previous tratments with other interferons,now after having a liver biopsy my dr wants me to go on pegasys with copegus, he wants to prescribe the 180mcg/0.5ml shot along which is prefilled but he wants me to take some of the other prefilled shot which would make it more than the normal 180 mcg. i did not ask him exactly how much it will total cause i have doubts about this,i have never heard of this. and may just stick with the 180 once a week.
220090 tn?1379167187 Does anyone have an opinion on Peg dose reduction for neutrophil of 650? I have a friend that is experiencing this and being told to reduce peg. I seem to remember that mine dropped once and my doc said not to reduce. Personally, I think dose reduction within the first three months of treatment is to be avoided except for very serious side effects.
Avatar m tn Welp...Took my final dose (ledipasvir/sofosbuvir/riba) this morning and gave my 12 week blood draw. We shall see. Doc gave me a realistic 80's % chance of svr given my prior Tx's and the fact I am cirrhotic. I have a better chance than ever before.
3093770 tn?1389739126 i was on the reduction for about 2 weeks. I also got 3 pints of blood. dose reduction is the first choice. my platelets and HGB both went back up and I was able to go back to my normal dose. the important thing is to stay on the full dose of Incivek and finish the 12 weeks. your counts will probably go up and they will resume your normal dose. hang in there and try not to worry too much.
Avatar f tn Yes, you are being too impatient. The 50 mcg is a starting dose. Dependent on the levels of your biologically active thyroid hormones, Free T3 and Free T4, it may take a while to ramp up your meds to achieve symptom relief. In addition, if your doctor only tests for TSH and medicates accordingly, you may never get there.

Avatar m tn I am on Tecfidera 240 mg dose. It just occurred to me I missed the morning dose. I have a call into the specialty pharmacy for direction. I didn't find much on the web except "take it as soon as you remember and if close to your next dose take it then but don't double up". This is the first time I missed since starting therapy last month. I feel terrible. Is this incredibly bad?
Avatar m tn Second, the efficacy of azithromycin in a 2 g dose for gonorrhea depends on taking the entire dose at once. Taking a second 1 g dose a day later will be no more effective. Finally, in the very unlikely chance you also have gonorrhea, 1 g of azithromycin probably would sufficient, over 90% reliable. The higher dose is recommended more as a safety factor, not because it's all that much more effective.
3926262 tn?1350439336 I will take my first dose of ribavirin and incivek on Thursday am and im wondering if I will feel poorly? I am waiting until that evening to do the first interferon, but I was curious about the first dose of oral meds. Please let me know!
Avatar m tn It won't out-right harm you, but Xanax is very addictive and you want to use as little of it as possible.
Avatar n tn Cardiologist understandably wants me on the highest dose of carvedilol for maximum benefit but I just cannot take the doses he wants due to extremely low blood pressure 80s/50s, dizziness, weakness. I've been on 6.25 in am and 12.5 in pm and doing just ok physically on these doses. Well last night I couldn't get my BP up so I only took 6.25 in the pm. I feel so much better today-bp is up and I've got more energy and am much less foggy.
602261 tn?1252583158 If you are 160 lbs or less, weight-based dosing is important...Riba will rip you apart if you are smaller. I was told 800 mg is the therapeutic dose unless you are severely overweight or unusually large. I know the 800 mg range covers from 160+ lbs to at least 300 lbs...After that, I'm not sure...3A is one of the most responsive genotypes to Peg/riba txing, whereas the type 1 geno (most common) is the most stubborn, and requires higher and longer dosing.
