Avatar f tn Copegus and Rebetol are the same, they are brand names for the generic drug ribavirin, either one will be fine.
Avatar m tn In a 28-week treatment regimen in which patients received 4 weeks of PEGINTRON(TM) (peginterferon alfa-2b) and REBETOL(R) (ribavirin, USP) prior to the addition of boceprevir (800 mg TID), the rate of sustained virological response at 12 weeks after the end of treatment (SVR 12) was 57 percent (ITT).
Avatar n tn My treatment nurse set me up on the program with Pegassist (Genentech Pegasys system): 1-888-941-3331 Peginterferon and Ribaviron Commitment to Care (Merck PEG-Intron system): 1-866-363-6379, opt 1 Hope that helps.
Avatar m tn In addition, consideration should be given to treating previously untreated patients who are poorly interferon responsive (as determined at TW4) with 4 weeks peginterferon alfa and ribavirin followed by 44 weeks of VICTRELIS 800 mg orally three times daily (every 7 to 9 hours) in combination with peginterferon alfa and ribavirin in order to maximize rates of SVR [see Clinical Studies (14)] Previously Untreated Subjects In previously untreated subjects evaluated in SPRINT-2, interferon-responsiv
Avatar m tn Among subjects with detectable HCV-RNA at TW8 who had attained undetectable HCV-RNA at TW24 and completed at least 28 weeks of treatment, the SVR rates were 66% (45/68) in VICTRELIS-RGT arm (4 weeks of PegIntron and REBETOL then 24 weeks of VICTRELIS with PegIntron and REBETOL followed by 20 weeks of PegIntron and REBETOL alone) and 75% (55/73) in VICTRELIS-PR48 arms (4 weeks of PegIntron and REBETOL then 44 weeks of VICTRELIS with PegIntron and REBETOL).

Avatar f tn I'm on 1200 mg of ribavirin daily (along with interferon), at 17 weeks of treatment. When I started treatment, my Hgb was well over 13, then fell into the 12s, then 11s, then 10s, back into the 11s, back down to the 10s. The labs I had drawn yesterday show Hgb at 9.8. I weigh about 115 lbs (52 kg). According to weight-based guidelines, only 1000 mg (or even 800) of ribavirin would be recommended for someone my size.
1084115 tn?1385228589 Your doctor has created his own hybrid by using Merck's Victrelis but replacing Merck's rebetol/pegintron and their dosing recommendations with the correct dosing for pegasys/copegus if it was used with Incivek. Personally although this is off the beaten path I don't see a problem with it because many people experience less side effects with pegasys but the efficacy is similar.
Avatar f tn Hey everyone...Incharge08 (I'm brain fogging bad today, can't remember her name), has had her insurance terminated and is 3 months into treatment...she is a 1a with a 1/1 bx, so she has a really good chance of SVRing if she can keep going...her meds run out next Friday...I'm checking around to see if there's anyone out there who has leftover Peg or Ribavirin and would be willing to send it to her if she decides to keep txing...
Avatar f tn To make your evaluation a little less complicated here is something to keep in mind. When it comes to pegylated interferon there are two kinds; Pegasys (alpha2A) and PegIntron (alpha 2B). They are made by two difference manufacturers (Roche and Schering). As for the Copegus, Rebetol, Ribabvirin; it's all the same and they are bio-equivalents of ribavirin and there is no difference.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn Metavir A3/F3 means you have severe liver inflamaton and septal fibrosis or advanced liver disease stage 3 which is one stage below cirrhosis. You are from Kenya and the most common genotype is 4. Currently, they are treating that genotype with interferon and ribavirin as well as genotype 2 & 3. If you are genotype 1, the standard of care is triple therarpy using a protease inhibitor, either Victrelis or Incivek in conjunction with interferon and ribavirin.
Avatar f tn I have been on treatment now for 8 weeks (inteferon & rebetol). Dr says i need to start on procrit because my red blood cells are too low. Any info on procrit?
Avatar m tn SGP) today reported that a planned interim analysis of a Phase II study showed that boceprevir, its investigational oral hepatitis C protease inhibitor, in combination with peginterferon and ribavirin markedly increased sustained virologic response (SVR) rates with 28 weeks of therapy and nearly doubled SVR with 48 weeks of therapy compared to current standard of care, peginterferon and ribavirin (control group) for 48 weeks.
Avatar m tn My Rebetol(ribavirin) are 200mg capsules. Not sure what you were prescribed. I take the Rebetol twice a day. I'm also on PegIntron Alfa2b, had hoped for the RediPens but they were not available, so I'm on the "mix & stick". I was told 4 weeks lead-in, then 24 weeks of triple with Victrelis. I may have misunderstood, but that's what I'm prepared for as of now. Day 11 for me, Wishing you all the best!
Avatar m tn I have been thinking about the Ribavirin we have been ingesting over the many months of treatment and Who has had the Brand products and Who has had the Generic brands? I had taken the generic brand Zydus for the first 9 months of treatment which had changed from a capsule form to a pill form and the last 3 months with Sandoz in a pill form. It would be interesting to see who has been taking what over the course of treatment. 1.

The subjects were then continued on different regimens based on Treatment Week (TW) 8 through TW24 response-guided therapy (VICTRELIS-RGT). All subjects in this treatment arm were limited to 24 weeks of therapy with VICTRELIS.
29837 tn?1414534648 Ribavirin has been around since about 1997-1998, I was in the tail end of the clinical trials for Ribavirin (Rebetol) beginning in 1997 and ending the trial when it was FDA approved in 1998. That was TX #1 for me. At that time, there was never any mention of the fat thing. Nor was the fat thing mentioned for my next 3-4 TX's. I've only heard of the fat thing come up during the course of like the last 6 yrs.
