Pregnancy should not be considered a contraindication to oseltamivir or zanamivir use. Pregnant women might be at higher risk for severe complications from swine influenza, and the benefits of treatment or chemoprophylaxis with zanamivir or oseltamivir likely outweigh the theoretical risks of antiviral use.
566175 tn?1278430472 Treatment and chemoprophylaxis The currently circulating swine influenza A (H1N1) virus is sensitive to the neuraminidase inhibitor antiviral medications zanamivir and oseltamivir, but is resistant to the adamantane antiviral medications, amantadine and rimantadine. Pregnant women who meet current case-definitions for confirmed, probable or suspected swine influenza A (H1N1) infection should receive empiric antiviral treatment.

Kindly confirm he needs to check again three months antibody test is conclusive.
11062655 tn?1414987783 htm Hepatotoxicity Despite widespread use, there is little evidence that oseltamivir when given orally causes liver injury, either in the form of serum enzyme elevations or clinically apparent liver disease. A proportion of patients with acute influenza A may have minor serum enzyme elevations during the acute illness, but these appear to be independent of therapy and are not exacerbated by osteltamivir.

Avatar f tn s sudden appearance might have been a side effect of TAMIFLU which is now known to rich (oseltamivir substance) the blood-brain barrier and cause irreversible dammages to brain. As a conclusion, TAMIFLU appeared to be responsable of a "medecinal intoxication" causing the narcolepsy-cataplexy I suddenly suffer since then. Several Years after, we hear about narcolepsy cases caused by the massive H1N1 vaccinations...
Avatar m tn if any family members are aged, frail, or have other underlying illnesses, s/he definitely should see a doctor. They may be candidates for oseltamivir (Tamiflu), which speeds recovery and helps prevent complications. Also, even healthy or strong individuals benefit it started early -- anyone who is just starting to become ill (within 2-3 days) should see the doc.
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 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.
480035 tn?1222366164 Tommorrow try doing 6 mgs in the AM then 4 mgs in the afternoon, if you still feel thats not enough, try another 2 mgs. That would be a total of 12 mgs for the day. 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!
