norvir

794091 tn?1264986339 What is your doctor thinking? Is this an HIV Specialist? Are you multi drug resistant? You say your combo is Combivir : which is AZT and 3TC Truvada : which is Viread and Emtriva (which is almost identical to 3TC and should not be taken together) Viread : which is already in the Truvada! Prezista : which is a PI that MUST be taken with Norvir which you aren't on!
Avatar m tn Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF), a new formulation that reaches higher levels in cells but allows for lower dosing, was as effective as the current tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) formulation but had less impact on markers of kidney function and bone turnover, researchers reported at the 53rd Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC 2013) this week in Denver.
Avatar m tn The only side effects ill have in the soft stool from time to time, the tingling feeling in my hands and feet from the norvir this too is from time to time, they say the norvir also has gastro effects, I know when it will kill someone....lol.... As of last month my t-cells were 945. I have been positive for 5 years on meds for 4years...
Avatar n tn I have heard a lot of people complain about the new formulation of Oxycontin .It is called OP I think .Purdue made this new formulation to stop people from abusing it but I have heard a lot of CP patients complain that it doesn't work as good as the old formulation .There is a substance that turns to a gel to keep people from snorting it or shooting it up and that may be what is causing it to not dissolve correctly .That's my best guess about it though .I would talk to my Dr about this .
Avatar n tn Initial counts were 423 viral load (not thousands - just 423) but T cell was 398. Immediately went undetectable. Put on Fortavase, Combivir, Norvir. Soon switched to just Fortavase 8 bid, combivir 1 bid. over time decreased to just 1 fortavase bid and 1 combivir bid. Been up in 700 - 900 T cell the whole time. No one can explain to me why numbers were odd to begin with. Also now that fortavase is off market my doc wants to switch me to Invirase, Combivir and Norvir.
Avatar n tn How can I tell if I have the "old" or the "new" formulation of Armour thyroid?
606423 tn?1271824088 Are you happy with the new Armour formulation? I guess they changed their formulation or something along thos lines and thats why there is a shortage. A lot of us have switched to other natural brands such as Westhroid and Naturethroid.
Avatar n tn Hi I noticed a lot of comments on the "New" formulation of the Armour Thyroid tablets. I never got pills from my pharmacy with the "A" I swear all of mine were blank with no logo. I noticed this last batch has the "A" logo, is whiter and does not split in half well at all. Were there Armour tablets with no logo before? I am so confused and upset by this whole problem with this medication. I feel like buying a pig farm and learning how to make the stuff myself.
Avatar n tn A while after it was reformulated, the FDA stopped production and shipments for several months, many people switched to other brands at that time and never went back. I used the new formulation for several months before it became unavailable nation wide. It is believed that the new formula which uses micro crystalline cellulose as a filler (Nature Throid changed to that as well), makes the hormone not absorb as well.
1401696 tn?1280838616 No not anymore as the new formulation did not do well for my thyroidless daughter.However, I did successfully and slowly move her over from a lifetime of Synthroid only to the original Armour (which she did great on) 1 1/2 years ago. The new Armour formula has more cellulose and less dexstrose in the fillers and binders and her freet4 dropped drastically on this and her freet3 dropped substantually. Had severe joint pain and fatigue on it within 2 weeks.
Avatar n tn I started taking PEP on august 4th. I take truvada norvir and reyataz. I went to get a rapid antibody hiv test today and was negative. Should I still be worried and stressed? I haven't slept much since this happened.
Avatar f tn I do not see any labs listed with your post or comparisons so it is not clear if after the new formulation your numbers may have dropped a bit. How you feel is your best guide to doseage so if you don't feel well it may be in need of tweaking. Many people say the TSH is useless on combined therapy and that they feel best with the free T3 in the high normal range and the free T4 in the upper third or half.
Avatar f tn Hi, welcome to the forum, your history is suggestive of that you may be having drug allergy to vitamin formulation. You may be hypersensitive to any component of the formulation. From your history it is suggests that you are intolerant to formulations of vitamin esp. if lactose or lactose like base is used. You need to discontinue the vitamins and go for other brands having different components. See whether you are comfortable with the new drug.
Avatar n tn I recently started the Norvir, Reyataz, Truvada combo. This is my first time taking "the meds" after being hiv + for 20 years. I have been on them for only 11 days. I have weird side effects: headaches, queasy stomach, and fatigue/weakness. I told my doctor, and he said, to "tough it out for another week, and he'll see if he needs to change the combination, or switch meds.
Avatar n tn I started PEP 2 hrs later (truvada, norvir, raltegravir, and preszita), my initial results are negative. I do not know the viral load of the patient yet, i can only pray that it is low. I know odds are 0.3% but that doesnt settle my fears, i am young and want to live a happy healthy life with KIDS! DR. please tell me if you have honstly heard of any cases like mine that have converted. I am in awe and feel like my life is totally over and ruined.
746512 tn?1388807580 Okay so I finally finished my first inhaler of pulmicort and using a new inhaler (same dose, strength, everything). Before I wasn't getting many sideeffects just muscle pain which might be caused from not wearing my orthotics. Now over the last two days I am completely exhausted (sleeping at least 14 hours at night), muscle and joint pain and just feel fuzzy.
6742119 tn?1391418728 The founder of the company that discovered the Sovaldi hepatitis C drug, which has been listed with a cost of $1,000 for a single pill, says that it’s fairly cheap to make the basic ingredients for this well-regarded new medicine. It may cost only about $1,400 to manufacture a 12-week supply, or 84 pills, of the key ingredient in Sovaldi, excluding the costs of manufacturing plants, solvents, formulation, encapsulating and marketing.

Abdominal bloating can also be seen due to hyperacidity, air swallowing or intolerance to other foods like gluten, certain wheat etc.
Avatar m tn Handsfield, I have started with antiretroviral therapy in April this year after my cd4+ further declined to 480 and viral load remained very high at 800,000 even after 6 months after exposure. I am currently on combination of Truvada, Prezista and Norvir which I take regularly every 24 hours. I feel much better than before meds, from time to time I have soar throat, nothing serious though. I didnt notice any significant side effects except temporary diarrhoea.
Avatar f tn My new medication says you can break or crush the tablets in the information my consultant and pharmacy told me it would be fine to snap and swallow smaller.
Avatar n tn If the tablets are consistently not breaking down in your GI tract, then you might want to discuss other medication options with your gastroenterologist. Salofalk is one of them, another is Colazal. There is also a new time-release, once per day formulation of mesalamine on the market called Lialda. The matrix of that formulation may be better tolerated in your GI tract. Bottom line is that you have options. I wish you well, IBD is a total drag.
