nevirapine dosing

Nurse advised me to take ZIDOLAM-N as PEP for 28 days. After continuing for 3 days i visited a doctor and he told me that Nevirapine should not be used for PEP but since i already started the PEP, he advised me to continue the same medication and asked to monitor closely the side effects of the drug. Now today Friday i am experiencing some pain in the upper abdomen. Is there any possibility that i can change the PEP drug to avoid nevirapine, please Suggest?

I am going to the US in 2 days, if I cannot find a way to get pep here, could I take his ARVs just until then as a temporary measure? He says he takes nevirapine and tenofivir/lamivudine blend. Any advice really appreciated! If my risk is very low I would prefer not to take pep but I suspect I may be best advised to do so. If it makes a difference, I am prone to have a tiny amount of blood(I think from tears) on toilet paper when I use the bathroom so that may make it more risky? Thanks!

Call your local pharmacist. We at MedHelp are not allowed to give out dosing instructions. Your pharmacist will be able to tell you exactly how to dose the medications. If your regular pharmacy is closed on Sunday, call any pharmacist availabe at your local grocery store or drug store such as Walgreens, CVS, or RiteAid.

I was diagnosed with secondary autoimmune adrenal insufficiency in December. I feel lousy most of the time, have chronic abdominal pain and abnormal stools, and feel best flat on my back...which doesn't work well for someone who works 12 hour shifts in a busy ER while selling one house, building another, and has 2 teens and a disabled husband, lol. Here's my question. If a person has say diabetes, their meds are based on their blood sugars.

If you are on triple therapy for genotype 1 and undetectable then your doc is following AASLD protocol for anemia management Anemia developed among recipients of both PIs. Hemoglobin decreases below 10 g/dL (grade 2 toxicity) occurred in 49% of patients who received a BOC regimen compared to 29% of those who received the SOC regimen, whereas 9% had a hemoglobin decline of <8.5 g/dL (grade 3 toxicity).

s always good to also confirm this with either the specialty pharmacy or your doctor with meds and dosing. You should be fine - it happens.

ve been found to have extremely low cortisol and have been following the dosing chart on *************************. Basically every 3 or 4 days you increase by 2.5mg if you haven't seen it. Initially I was feeling slightly better on one dose of 2.5mg each morning then a day or two after being on two doses of 2.5mg I started to feel very spaced out, dizzy, exhausted and confused. I read somewhere that ideally you should raise your dose every 2 weeks or so. Would you agree with this?

Usual questions concerning dosing down. I was at 50mg - down to 28 this week. Been going down 5 mg a week. From what I read that is fast but our clinic is over $400 a month and I can't afford it any longer. So far I've been fine, no problems at all. Some anxiety here and there, but that's normal for me. I am just looking for some withdraw stories for people who dosed down to 1mg from a clinic.

Dr. Lupo, a question about dosing of Tapazole. I've been on meds for a little over a year. Was doing well for 8 months, then I stopped taking it for a couple of weeks( to see if it was causing muscle pain,was only on 2.5 mgs) Doc increased it to 5 mgs. for 3 months. Went into hypo range, he didn't reduce it... my labs were as follows: tsh-4.21(0.35-5.5) free t-4 -0.84 (0.8-1.9) total t-3- 0.9 (1.10-2.00) low, he said we'd reduce it next time. then 3 months later my tsh was 6.

s assistant said and had it clarified today. The double dosing will consist of double Pegasys and the standard, torturous Ribavirin. I would like to know if anyone has undergone this double dosing regiment. If so, how was it? Did you eat and sleep normally? Were you prone to lashing out at your friends? Did you have a hard time breathing? Were you extremely depressed? Was the itching unbelievable? Did most of your hair fall out? Did you finally respond to the double-dosing?

Can someone tell me the dosing for HC cream if using the cream instead of tablets? I remember the gram weight I think but not how often to use. Is it once a day or several times like the tablets?

Weight-adapted ribavirin dosing in combination with peg-IFN alfa-2a to avoid giving low doses of ribavirin should be evaluated. This will minimize relapse, especially in HCV GT 1 patients.

Has anyone's Dr. recommended double dosing? I was under the assumption that it was a personal choice people made and did on their own. If I don't decide to go with a trial, my Dr. wants me to double dose peg 180 mg 2x per week and 1400-1600 copeg (weight based) for 4 weeks. If RVR at 4 weeks, continue SOC for a total of 48 weeks. If no RVR, continue double dosing until week 12, the SOC to 72 weeks.
