Pegasys manufacturer

Common Questions and Answers about Pegasys manufacturer

pegasys

Avatar m tn I was wondering if there have been any studies comparing Pegasys and Pegintron, and if one has better SVR numbers than the other or was more tolerable. I am new here so I hope I am posting this in the correct forum.
Avatar m tn WHAT IF THE PEGASYS IS LEFT OUT OF REFRIGRATOR WHAT IS THE DEMAGE DONE TO THE MEDICINE?
Avatar f tn My understanding is the active ingredient of each is the same, but just a different brand name by different manufacturer. I recall some are available in different doses, so if you needed to do a dose reduction this could be an advantage.
Avatar m tn Depending on the pharmacy that is filling your prescription for pegasys...you can either get it in the "pegasys box" "4 prefilled syringes" as mentioned aboved.... OR the pharmacy will fill their own syringes with the medicine and ship the pre-filled syringes to you.... I have had both... and I was shocked when I received the prefilled syringes from the pharmacy --not the "pegaysis boxed" syringes..so I called the "pegasys hot line" right away...
2008176 tn?1327971543 I have heard that If you call the manufacturer of pegasys they have helped people with free medication. Under the circumstances I would call them. They are here in the US. but it wouldn't hurt to call or write them.
1711722 tn?1356487554 I can only speak for the pre-filled syringes of Pegasys and hope this helps. Have a look at these pictures: http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/archives/image.cfm?archiveid=49606&type=img&name=pegasys-04.jpg http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/archives/image.cfm?archiveid=49606&type=img&name=pegasys-08.jpg See the portion called THE HUB?? That's the part that attaches to the syringe. With a quick push and twist, it should be secure on the syringe.
422881 tn?1257603579 "180" is the standard dosage for Pegasys. You state you're on "Peg Intron" which is made by a different manufacturer and dosed differently by weight. The most common forumulations of Peg Intron need to be refrigerated and I therefore assume so does yours since it was shipped in a styrofoam container. The ribavirin can be stored at room temperature. Like in your case, my ribavirin was also shipped in the styrofoam along with the peg.
Avatar f tn has anyone treated with Pegasys and Copegus instead of Sovaldi and Ribavarin, and if so are the results the same?
602261 tn?1252583158 I don’t have the numbers handy, but if you Google search either PEG-Intron or Pegasys sites, they should have some guidance. I think the site for Pegasys is called ‘Pegassist’; I’m not sure of Schering Plough. You might have to do a quick, free registration if you haven’t already signed up for it.
Avatar f tn They are actually very helpful and have covered the costs of many peoples medication, both the copegus( ribavirin) and the pegasys(peginterferon-alfa-2a) which are used to treat Hepatitis C. They are connected to the manufacturer,Roche. Hope the info helps.
694630 tn?1227710675 Here is a link to the Roche web site, they are the other manufacturer of Peg and Riba. Pegasys and Copegus. You can chose the different countries from the drop down menu. You might get a better deal for meds in Indonesia than in Singapore. I think you may need to shop around for prices in the different countries. http://www.roche.com/index.
179856 tn?1333547362 In case no one responds in time -- and assuming your friend has an rx -- the local friendly pharmacist is likely to give your friend a couple xtra for the ones that got lost down the drain or however they got lost. An alternative is to call the manufacturer and explain that a couple of pills got lost. Roache was very helpful to me when a batch of Pegasys arrived warm. They replaced it.
1986676 tn?1329862471 I was forced out of Pegasys when the generics became available at 01/01/2006. I hated it but all the research showed there was no difference. Still, I would have preferred to stay on the name brand. That must have been pretty distressing to see that label that looked like it was printed in a basement. I wonder why??? My guess is you will have no choice except to pay full price for the ribavirin you were taking. I always wondered if the change led to my relapse, but who could ever know.
495402 tn?1220617403 I called the pharmacy that ships it to me and they asked me to call the manufacturer. I called Roche, they took down all the information and then conferenced Caremark into the call, asking them if they had a package they could overnight me seeing that they would replace it, they did not. They aren't even shipping out today due to a large snowstorm expected here this afternoon, 8-12 inches. So I may not see the interferon until Tuesday or Wednesday, if lucky.
Avatar m tn 1-800-521-7157 -The manufacturers of PegIntron plus Rebetol have the Commitment to Care program. • Vertex: 855-837-8394 - The manufacturer of the recently approved Hepatitis C drug Incivek, has the Vertex Free Medicine Program. This program will provide telaprevir (Incivek) at no cost to people who do not have insurance, are not covered by other benefits programs, and have an annual household income of $100,000 or less.
Avatar m tn I'm taking Rebetol (Schering Plough). I'm UND since week 4, maybe earlier. No change of brand/manufacturer during tx. I'm in week 40.
Avatar n tn I'm going to assume you are asking about the cost of the treatments for Hepatitis C. There are an incredible number of variables, so it's hard to answer even that. The treatment will probably be more than just the interferon injections. Your treating physician will have to take into account the genotype of your virus to decide which drug combination will be most effective for you.
Avatar f tn s office - mn gastro just called to say that Target/Triessent cannot supply this med as the manufacturer does not have it. I am terrified - need the procrit to complete last 12 weeks of tx -- can anyone help me out with this?
Avatar m tn The nurse gave me the Pegasys injection intramuscular in my arm instead of subcutaneous? Will that have any effect on the course of treatment? Does it have the same efficacy?will I still benefit from the injection in the same intended way?
Avatar f tn I came from Afghanistan .I want to buy pegasys because it wouldnt found in my country, How can I get pegasys ???
Avatar m tn then he recommend Pegasys, injection po siya for 48 weeks, Salamat sa Dios kasi he lead me to my new Dr. I believe that God has a plan for all of us. inform you guys what will happen. after I'm going on my third week now taking this medicine after the fourth week I will have my sgpt test. I will update you guys on the result.
Avatar f tn Make sure you emphasize that there are floating particles in the Pegasys. A light yellow color is normal but floating particles are not. Drug company literature states (see page 2) http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/638650?post_id=post_3464276 1. DO NOT USE Pegasys if it is cloudy, 2. DO NOT USE Pegays if it has particles in it. 3. DO NOT USE Pegasys if it is any color but clear or light yellow.
