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 Because of its systemic activity, oseltamivir is preferred for treatment of pregnant women. The drug of choice for prophylaxis is less clear. Zanamivir may be preferable because of its limited systemic absorption; however, respiratory complications and medication delivery system challenges that may be associated with zanamivir because of its inhaled route of administration need to be considered, especially in women at risk for respiratory problems.

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 m tn Almost 3 months after that another one showed up, went to a different doc, he said it was ring worm, gave me clomitrazole. It went away in about four weeks. He also said it did not resemble an STD. Forgot to mention that I had been taking doxy as malaria prophylaxis. And the first doc said if I was worried about STD to double up my doxy for two weeks. Present day, noticed a small (about 4mm diameter) 'bald spot on tongue'. Had RPR-qualitative performed.
503418 tn?1231098736 Since 1955, the AHA has made recommendations for prevention of infective endocarditis with antimicrobial prophylaxis before specific dental, gastrointestinal (GI), and genitourinary (GU) procedures in patients at risk for its development. However, many authorities and societies, as well as the conclusions of published studies, have questioned the efficacy of antimicrobial prophylaxis in most situations.
Avatar m tn A broken condom is hard to remove. You will be left with just the ring around your penis. You performed a water test?. That means the condom was intact. Now to answer your question. 1) no risk. You cannot get HIV this way. 2) you had no risk.

Avatar m tn Hi, im a 25 year old South African male who recently had unprotected receptive intercourse with another male. My doctor at the time felt I was at risk so decided to put me on a prophylaxis for 4 weeks (commencing about 58 hours after the exposure). This was in January. After the prophylaxis ended, I tested negative at the end of February (rapid test).
Avatar m tn I went to a nearby clinic and told the doctor that a condom broke during sex with a local sex worker. He mentioned a prophylaxis and antibiotics. I was worried about HIV and thought that this prophylaxis was for aids. He gave me a shot and a 10 day supply of doxicycline (antibiotic). After, I realized that this was for the prevention of an STD. I have searched the internet and have not found anything about STD prophylaxis. I am now concerned/wondering what Shot I was given.
Avatar n tn So, within 2 hours of the incident, I was in the ER talking to the doctor and explaining what had happened and told him I wanted the post exposure prophylaxis since I dont do this often and this is a one time thing, and I dont want to get HIV or HSV for a stupid moment that didn't even include actual sex, just momentary rubbing genitals together.
Avatar n tn hello guys, thanks for the reply. I'm worried because the guy had oral sex performed on him by a CSW 2 weeks ago. Just learned that. I'm concerned about the "window" period. What if he was in the window period when they tested him? I already stopped the HIV prophylaxis when i learned that he was (-) but now i'm worried again. He said that he was wearing a condom when he had that. I'm scared like crazy.

The live birth rate was 75% with enoxaparin prophylaxis, compared to 20% in prior untreated pregnancies [Brenner et al 2000].
Avatar f tn WHETHER SUCH PROPHYLAXIS WAS ACTUALLY NEEDED OR NOT IS OF COURSE ANOTHER QUESTION. I WOULD SAY BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY WHICH IS A SIMPLE BUT AXIOMATIC MANTRA.

Avatar n tn Chloroquine has not been found to have any harmful effects on the fetus when used in the recommended doses for malaria prophylaxis; therefore, pregnancy is not a contraindication for malaria prophylaxis with chloroquine phosphate or hydroxychloroquine sulfate. For travel to areas where chloroquine resistance is present, mefloquine is the only medication recommended for malaria chemoprophylaxis during pregnancy.
