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.
Avatar n tn hi my friend had unprotected vaginal intercourse with a CSW , after three months he did Hiv-1,2 antibody combo test i came back with negative , but one week before he had influenza b positive , for this one he took oseltamivir tablet 75 mg tablet 9 nos for 5 days , these tablets can affect the test result? 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 n tn Do any of you know of a well documented scientific study on vaginal-penile (and viceversa of course) transmission mechanism to share with me? That has been wandering my mind and I wanted to get a little educated on it. Please, if any, then paste the URL. Thank ya'll!
Avatar f tn He explained that the mechanism of swaloowing is a very complex sequences of involuntary actions initiated by a voluntary one. It seems that the sequence occasionally gets off track and you need to "reboot" the system. If the inability to swallow persists for a long time, then it is likely abnormal, but the occasional inability to swallow is surprisely common and not to be worried over.
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...
372366 tn?1284403873 Copyman, I think we have a rhyme for teleprivir now). Ribavirin is not one of those listed. But being a suspicicious person, I have a theory of why riba is not a suggest 'stockpiled' anti-viral. If governments and business were to create significant stockpiles of ribavirin they could be accused of accumulating weapons of mass destruction. And we all know what that could cause.
Avatar f tn It concerns me because her speech is minimal (we have a speech therapist on board now). Is this a normal coping mechanism? She also does this when dad plays video games, and when he turns it off, she'll open her eyes and uncovers her ears again. Once again is this normal?
Avatar m tn In this paper, we demonstrate important parts of this mechanism. Initially, HIV-induced impairment of proliferation was shown to be an active process involving induction of protein tyrosine kinases in both CD4 and CD8 T cells. Furthermore, the impairment of cell proliferation was demonstrated to be linked to induction of the inhibitory protein kinase A (PKA) pathway by HIV proteins.
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 m tn The mechanism of action of CampralĀ® (acamprosate calcium) Delayed-Release Tablets in maintenance of alcohol abstinence is not completely understood. Originally, several neurotransmitter systems, including GABA, were investigated for a possible role in Campral's mechanism of action. However, recent evidence suggests Campral's main interaction is with the glutamate system. Chronic alcohol exposure is hypothesized to alter the normal balance between neuronal excitation and inhibition.
Avatar f tn Within our subconscious mind we retain a primitive mechanism to both remember stress, and control our ability to sleep. When we are in balance we send the appropriate instruction to our subconscious, and the sleep mechanism simply takes over. However when this balance is disturbed the result is sleeplessness. The mechanism which controls sleep is both "reactive" to our desire to sleep and "responsive" to our body's need for sleep.
Avatar m tn Oyakawa I am in my 3rd year of medical school and I was wondering the mechanism of action of steroid injections in the eyelid causing cataracts. It is not an osmotic agent so why does that occur? thanks so much.
Avatar f tn There is no chance of. pregnancy.If you read the mechanism of conception and longevity of sperms outside the body you will realize that there is no chance of conception.
Avatar f tn Does this mean that dementia is developed due to alcohol abuse? If, so how chronic use of alcohol affect one's cognitive ability and/or impair SNS??? What is the mechanism of this particular type of dementia?? Could anyone please help with my question?
Avatar n tn It is known that the protection from infection in vaccinated persons results not only from the antibody titer, but also quite effectively from the presence of a class 2 T cell response that is extremely sensitive and tends to block access of the virions from the tissue level to the blood stream. This mechanism persists even after AB titers fall below the official threshold. The same mechanism works in HCV contacts.
Avatar m tn Theories of water loss and/or heat loss of the lining of the airways have been proposed as the mechanism of EIB, but recent research suggests that that the mechanism may be more complex than that. For some people, it is the only clinical manifestation of their asthma. The "bronchitis" you get once or twice a year, in truth, may be asthma flare-ups and likely preventable. And, chronic/recurrent rhinitis/sinusitis is commonly associated with asthma.
Avatar f tn , duloxetine) has a combination mechanism of action involving serotonin and norepinephrine making it useful in depression and also neuropathic pain. When a peripheral nerve is injured there is an increase in pain sensitive fibers leading to increase pain recognition. This causes a change in central (i.e., brain/spinal cord) recognition of pain. One major neurotransmitter involved in this is norepinephrine. Cymbalta works to modulate this change.
Avatar m tn Everybody has some thyroid antibodies and the antibodies are the normal mechanism to control excessive thyroid hormone levels. An elevated TSH indicates that the thyroid is not producing enough thyroid hormone. Logic suggests that a elevated TSH would be contrary to a Hashimoto's response. If the TSH is elevated the thyroid hormone level is low, there should be no increase of thyroid antibodies. I am the patient mentioned above.
Avatar f tn My boyfriend suffers from this also Conversionn A defense mechanism, operating unconsciously, by which intrapsychic conflicts that would otherwise give rise to anxiety are instead given symbolic external expression. The repressed ideas or impulses, and the psychological defenses against them, are converted into a variety of somatic symptoms. These may include such symptoms as paralysis, pain, or loss of sensory function.
Avatar f tn Plavix has a unique mechanism of action by blocking the amplification of platelet activation by released ADP, and often used with aspirin to prevent the risk of clots for the first year after DES implant. Plavix and aspirin have different mechanism of action to prevent clots. After a year, plavix is usually discontinue as the risk for clots is decreased, and aspirin is continued long term. The risk of a clot is about 3%.
Avatar n tn Hello, The exact mechanism of what causes clubbing remains unclear till date.Many mechanisms have been proposed but none have gained complete acceptance.However ,many researchers agree that the common factor in most types of clubbing is distal digital vasodilation, which results in increased blood flow to the distal portion of the digits.

983679 tn?1276833336 That is called sleep paralysis. It's a mechanism to prevent us from acting out our dreams. When it's not working at the right time two things can happen. Sleep walking (when this mechanism fails to make the disconnect while you are dreaming), and sleep paralysis when the mechanism kicks in while you are concious. try googling it for more info. I've gotten it a few times myself but very rare.
