Avatar n tn - Absorption, oral: time to peak concentration 7h - Elimination half-life = 12 h (It says also that in general it can be administered once daily because it has a 24 h effect.Why?) - Can you give another example to clarify it better please? - When it says divide in 2 doses , does it mean only in the morning and dinner? 3 doses (morning-lunch-dinner)? Thank you for taking the time to answer!!
Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar m tn 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!
Avatar m tn I can't help out on the pharmacokinetics, but your reasoning is sound: it doesn't make sense to dose so that the drug runs out. I'd query Schering-Plough as well as your hepatologist, if I were you. Please give me a heads-up if you solve the riddle.

Avatar m tn Hepatic Impairment In volunteers with hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class A and B), sildenafil clearance was reduced, resulting in higher plasma exposure of sildenafil (47% for Cmax and 85% for AUC). The pharmacokinetics of sildenafil in patients with severely impaired hepatic function (Child-Pugh Class C) have not been studied. A starting dose of 25 mg should be considered in patients with any degree of hepatic impairment [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
Avatar f tn Folic acid supplementation in folate-deficient patients with epilepsy changes the pharmacokinetics of phenytoin, usually leading to lower serum phenytoin concentrations and possible seizure breakthrough..." It however says that initiation of Folic acid and phenytoin together is beneficial. Since you can't go back and start all over again, you can take a small dose. It has been observed that as los as 1mg dose can perturb phenytoin’s levels, You may take doses lower than 1mg/day.

Avatar m tn The Phase 1 trial was designed to characterize the safety profile of ARC-520 across a range of doses and evaluate pharmacokinetics. It is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single dose-escalation, first-in-human study of ARC-520 administered intravenously to healthy adult volunteers. All subjects have been dosed and received either placebo or ARC-520 in doses ranging from 0.01 mg/kg to 2 mg/kg.
Avatar f tn i believe in the pre-clinical trials with healthy volunteers, researchers used Carbon14 to gauge the half-life and paths of elimination during pharmacokinetics studies. it is a common practice. perhaps that is what you are thinking about?
29837 tn?1414534648 The pharmacokinetics of ledipasvir were studied with a single dose of 90 mg ledipasvir in HCV negative subjects with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C). Ledipasvir plasma exposure (AUC0-inf) was similar in subjects with severe hepatic impairment and control subjects with normal hepatic function. Population pharmacokinetics analysis in HCV-infected subjects indicated that cirrhosis had no clinically relevant effect on the exposure of ledipasvir [see Use in Specific Populations (8.
808353 tn?1238293321 The combination of two potent direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), targeting two distinct viral enzymes, may offer advantages over single DAA strategies by enhancing potency, reducing the emergence of drug resistance, and possibly eliminating the need for PEG-IFN +/- ribavirin. The combination of R7128/R7227 offers the potential for a highly potent regimen with a high genetic barrier to resistance. Methods: INFORM-1 is a randomized, double-blind, ascending dose Phase I trial.
Avatar m tn Nitazoxanide, brand name alinia, had also excellent ed50 results in an in vitro inhibition study, just as good as lamuvidine, so this sounded fascinating for a possible combination towards true synergism, to finally suppress virion production to a level so low that the silent daily reinfection will be reduced, allowing a slow net clearance of infected cells with a resulting drop in surface antigen.
Avatar n tn Completely absorbed from the GI tract. Sodium salt (Anaprox) is more rapidly absorbed. Distribution: Crosses the placenta; enters breast milk in low concentrations. Protein Binding: >99%. Metabolism and Excretion: Mostly metabolized by the liver. Half-life: 10–20 hr. CONTRAINDICATIONS AND PRECAUTIONS Contraindicated in: Hypersensitivity Cross-sensitivity may occur with other NSAIDs, including aspirin Active GI bleeding Ulcer disease.

Avatar f tn 7 Hepatic Impairment No dosage adjustment is required in patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment. The safety and pharmacokinetics in patients with severe hepatic impairment have not been evaluated [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
Avatar m tn The Molixan® substance is an organic salt where counter-ions are endogenous substances (oxidized glutathione and inosine). The natural origin of the drug determinates its metabolic particularities by cell enzyme systems. According to preclinical studies the Molixan® pharmacokinetics after intravenous dosing of 10 mg/kg is described using double-part model with the following indices (as per oxidized glutathione): maximal plasma concentration - 170-180 m g/ml; elimination constant - 0.
Avatar f tn She should never miss her Depo because the pharmacokinetics of that medicine. People who miss it even by a few days have a great chance of getting pregnant because there's no exact way to determine how fast a person metabolized the medicine. Next time you guys should use condoms if you know she hasn't been on birth control. Just a little advice from your neighborhood pharmacist.
