pegasys roche

@VeteranB- Pegasys is brand name of peginterferon alfa-2a in india by Roche brand.

WHAT IF THE PEGASYS IS LEFT OUT OF REFRIGRATOR WHAT IS THE DEMAGE DONE TO THE MEDICINE?

Btw, when I called Roche later on they did not give me that line that they stay good for 2 weeks at room temp. I think they said 2 days or something like that - can't remember, but I think it was 2 days that they said.

I came from Afghanistan .I want to buy pegasys because it wouldnt found in my country, How can I get pegasys ???

Merck will market Victrelis as an addition to the Peg-Intron cocktail, while Roche will promote its combination with Pegasys. And Pegasys has muscle; it currently owns about three-quarters of the interferon market in hepatitis C, Bloomberg says. Plus, Merck’s trials for Victrelis tested the drug in combination with Peg-Intron, so having Roche put its stamp on Victrelis as a Pegasys add-on could help offset the lack of data there.

ll complete the rest of my 48 weeks through Roche on the Pegasys and Ribavirin with the Pegasys being unblinded. We have not known the dosage of Pegasys throughout the study so far, we will know now. I don't believe that Roche is done with the Study. They're just done with the drug itself. So no, we probably won't find out which arm we have been on until the study is complete and we have finished the full tx. I'm hoping to know more on Monday after I go to Hershey.

Pegasys is from Roche company. You can get to their website. I am taking Intron which is Scerring company's. Can anyone tell me which is better?

Pegassist (Roche Pegasys system): 1-877-734-2797 Commitment to Care (Schering- Plough PEG-Intron system): 1-800-521-7157 http://www.hcvadvocate.org/hepatitis/factsheets_pdf/PAP.pdf These programs can help with the cost of co-pays, and sometimes the entire cost of treatment drugs, depending on patient income. These programs are designed to assist not only indigent patients, but the working poor as well.

I am using Pegasys 180mug q/wk as an off label use to treat Polycythemia Vera and it works well.I will have to take this med the rest of my life. I am aware of the short term side effects, but what about long term side effects? What can I expect years from now?

also i have a problem with thyroid, Roche med representative said before i take pegasys i should have other check ups for my thyroid as it may affect it while on pegasys. My doctor gave me two options, pegasys or tenofovir, and get rid lamivudine. i am in doubt to take pegasys for now.

COPEGUS is available as a 200mg tablet, and is administered orally two times a day as a split dose. Roche has backed PEGASYS with the most extensive clinical research program ever undertaken in HCV, with major studies initiated to advance treatment for HCV patients with unmet needs, including patients co-infected with HIV and HCV, African Americans, patients with cirrhosis, and patients who have failed to respond to previous therapy.

peginterferon alfa-2a is available in all major cities across India, including Mumbai. A few months back, Roche stopped the supply of Pegasys in India and has launched it with a new brand name, Exxura. I think this is to make it available at a lower price in India. So, you can check for Exxura from Roche.

These meds are through Roche. Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) and Copegus (ribavirin) which is Roche and Pegintron (peginterferon alfa-2b) and Rebetol (ribavirin) which is Schering-Plough. Both are considered the current SOC.

According to Roche 2004 trial ( posted in NEJM) 48 week of pegasys resulted in 42% of HBV DNA<20000 copies/ml but it maintained in only 30% after 3 years f/u ( P Marcellin) A pilot trial ( AM J Gastroenterl 2007;102:2718-2723) pointed out better results of 60 weeks pegasys ( 69% HBV DNA<20000 after 24 weeks off-pegasys periods). It also mentioned greater supress of HBsAg in those who succeed.

I am on pegasys but that is because I am in a trial for a polymerase inhibitor called R7128 which is done in conjunction with Roche, who makes pegasys and copegus. The trial gives all three drugs. For what it is worth I was told by others that pegasys sides were more tolerable than PegIntron but you know what, if they are it still *****! LOL I hope this helps and welcome to the forum.
