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 You can develop resistance to a STAT-C drug however. So when someone is choosing a trial with a STAT-C drug involved, you want to choose with care - the same will apply when undergoing treatment with a STAT-C drug when they finally get to market. You want a doctor/treatment team who understands the issues and you'll want to understand them yourself so that your first attempt with a STAT-C drug is as hopefully your last.
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 IR or insulin resistance is a sign of type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes. I am assuming you are referring to either the A1C or fasting blood glucose levels. The first thing of course is a change in life style. This does not mean you have to stop eating everything but to be more judicious in your eating habits. In addition, regular exercise is paramount in reducing those :numbers". Talk this over with your physician and get started on these changes.
Avatar f tn There is little doubt that the indiscriminate use of antibiotics has contributed to the emergence of bacterial resistance, both in hospitals and community settings [1]. The major force driving changes in the prevalence of resistance in the community seems to be the volume of drug use [...]" http://cid.oxfordjournals.org/content/33/Supplement_3/S170.
Avatar m tn there have been only one or two reported cas of true resistance of Chlamydia trachomatis to doxycycline and/or azithromycin. If it works out that way, I would expect your doctors to write up a scientific report for publication. I that event, I would not venture a guess about the best alternate treatment to use; that decision would rest on the lab tests to determine the best choice.n However, I still would not worry about eventual treatment success; there has never been a C.
Avatar f tn Hi! I need some ideas on different resistance training I can do at home? Trying something new so any ideas are welcome! Thanks!
Avatar f tn I have an appointment with my obgyn a week from Monday to follow up with him. Should I be tested for an immune deficiency or resistance? Any advice welcome.
Avatar n tn On the report it did not show outside the normal but she said the usually accepted cut off for insulin resistance was lower than my level. I was placed on 500mg metformin, told to cut out process/refined sugar, carbs, and be re-tested. This process has continued and now I am on 2000 mg of metformin and my levels are actually higher. I have not been perfect with the diet but certainly much better than before.
Avatar m tn Most of the issues you brought up are covered in http://www.hepatologytextbook.com/. One thing I want to correct, though: "Could this mean in the 12th month i was in fact building up a resistance to the tablets?" Unlike drugs like painkillers where *people* develop resistance, with anti-virals and antibiotics, it is the *virus* that develops resistance. If you feel any pain, you should definitely talk to your doc right away.
