pegasus and andromeda

I take pegasys as part of my trial protocol and it does not come in prefilled syringes. I have to draw my own syringes each time I have done my shots. I am not sure if that is because of the trial I am on or not but that is my experience.

herbs, additives, supplements, fluids tc should one eat/drink and what should one specifically avoid or reduce? Obviously alcohol is best avoided and bad fats reduced. Should one frink a lot of fluids or just a moderate amount [I'm not sure my viral Hepatitis risk at this time (possibly quite low) but I think it's best to take corrective measures in my diet anyway, in case I might have to clear it]. I know, I know, I should have thought of this earlier.

I am 22 yr old and i have hepatitis c genome 3 and i am taking pegasus\once weekly and ribavirin since 19-6-08 my question is have i to do weekly CBC or I can do every 2weeks before the injection ?

I am about to start Pegasus and Ribovarin Therapy for the second time. My doctor said that I may not have been on this Pegasus and Ribovarin Therapy long enough the first time. I did it for 11 months. would be interested to here opinions of what myi chances are of the treatment being sucessful this time around. I was really suprised that it come back. The first time I did the treatment I became anemic and looked like a ghoast until I was able to start procrit.

I had an ear ache last week and now my ear is continuously weeping, enough that the 'water' runs down my neck if I dont stuff tissue in my ear, yes, its a pretty image. I know my ear isnt sad so the 'weeping' must be medical. What can cause an ear to 'weep'.

Pegasys is given in conjunction with Ribavirin for Genotype 2 and Genotype 3 patients. Pegasys is given in conjunction with Ribavirin and a Protease Inhibitor (either Incivek or Victrelis) for Genotype 1 patients. "Due to the intensity and major side effects of the Incivek, it has been advised to start with the interferon/ribavirin treatment. " ------------------------------------------ Who advised that? Please post a link to the scientific document that you read that advises that.

Pegasus and Dr. Lupo, I have almost the exact same thing. I have a multicystic nodule on my left thyroid and every now and then i get a pain in my neck followed by a minor sore throat and some hoarseness due to a cough i usually only get when it flares up. I recently have been getting an upset stomach almost everytime i eat and i thought it was due to my acidic levels.

Hi, I'm new here, and my husband is in his 10th month of treatment. Just had his second transfusion, and he isn't bouncing back. They upped his procrit, and he has had to stop taking ribavirin again. He's still on a half dose of pegasus and his viral count is undetectable. His doctor said he hated to pull the rug out from under him last visit, and it looks like I"m going to have to take him before his next visit. I think he may need another transfusion soon.

Will the Pegasus work without CoPegasus, I'm getting alot of side effects, I cant sleep and itchy rash's, I can handle the Pegasus alone but the Copegasus makes me feel bad. My liver function test are normal. Has anybody gotten rid of the hep without it?

Just got my Pegasus and co Pegasus.Was hoping just for just the Pegasus, But there was a study that said non responders faired no better than responders on there study. Why this applies to me I do not know. I am a relapser. This cost the insurance company big money. Any Ideas? At stage 4 i have no time to wait. Have had the same issues getting into the studies. Relapser. Life can be hard at times.

I I will be taking pegasus soon.can my wife be subjected to any of the drug through oral sex with me ?not a joke question.

Hi I am Viktoriya.First week of treatment with PEGASUS and COPEGUS -feel very bad :fever, headaches, body hearts like- flu but stronger,feeling dizzy. Is it getting better after first week??

The good news is my 4 week labs show UND but they cheesed out and the test was only <615. My NP said they will do the more sensitive test <5 at 12 weeks. At 6 weeks I am getting some extra shots of Neupogen (RBC) and procrit. My WBC is 1.5 RBC 3.48, Hemo 31.9, Neutrophils 33.8 Abs .5, Lymphocytes 57.6 H Abs .9 blah blah blah. Getting winded on a flight of stairs, can only run downhill being pulled by my dogs(Not kidding about that) but still working and doing Pilates.

After 3 weeks post pegasus/ribivarin (48 weeks responder so far) still suffering with rash, body aches, migraines, insomnia. My energy level is improving but is not great.

Second, the Pegasys is BIG and slowly absorbed from the injection site and carried to the liver where it acts on liver cells. Its level in the blood rises and stays high for 4-7 days. On the other hand, PegIntron is a smaller more fragile molecule and is fairly rapidly metabolized and excreted. Its level in the blood rises during the first 2-3 days after injection and quickly falls so that by day 5 - day 7 you may have NO drug in yr body.

Which one would you all recommend she go on, the Incivek 12 weeks plus Pegasus 48 or the 44 weeks Victrelis plus Pegasus 48? I think the Incivek has a few more sides but a better success rate. Is that true. Do patients with a lot of Incivek sides normally improve after the 12 weeks? Any info to help in the choice would be great.

I have chronic HBV and after about 1 year on tenofovir, I was told today that I have seroconverted. I also take 2 milk thistle capsules a day, don't drink alcohol, and drink a lot of cranberry juice and detox teas - so the doctor told me to keep up with whatever I am currently doing.... so to my questions: What is the relationship between seroconversion and developing antibodies. Does seroconversion mean that I am developing antibodies OR have developed antibodies to HBV?

6 million and started with Pegasus and Ribovarin Therapy at third month my pcr become –ve I left the treatment after 24 injection but after 35 days of breakthrough when pcr become +ve I started the treatment again . now I getting Pegasus and Ribovarin Therapy . my question is that at this moment I have taken 28 injection .

agree with can-do-man i too wouldnt be overly concerned about it lots of people dont even know what temp their fridge is like he said as long as it dosnt freeze and not kept in direct sunlight and heat you should be fine.

I am on Sovladi, Pegasus, and Ribavirin for 12 weeks—and they are working—even on my uncommon genotype 4! Over a third way through treatment, day 33, 51 days to go! Doc has adjusted Ribavirin up and down and back up again, my hemoglobin has evened out, white blood cell count down a little bit, but otherwise other blood levels are normal. So excited this is working, makes the temporary side effects worth it!
