Avatar m tn I had what I found to be very unpleasant psychophysical reactions to both Interferon and Ribavirin though. Even nearly two months after stopping, I don't feel like I have completely settled back into being my old self yet. After a longer treatment it makes sense that you might need more recuperation time. Are you getting advice from a clinical psychologist or a psychiatrist at all?
Avatar m tn Katla, if that were possible wouldn't Gilead or Bristol have been able to "duplicate" each others drugs already. Bristol tried to "duplicate" 7977 with BMS-094 and that resulted in death and permanent heart and kidney problems with at least 11 people in the trials. Gilead is "attempting" to "duplicate" daclatasvir with their GS-5885, but the combination has to be partnered with ribavirin and/or interferon to get even a small percentage of SVRs.

4670047 tn?1375730401 I was just wondering how long some of you took the ribavirin after your last shot. I'm going to call the Dr. On Monday and ask. But I'm just a little anxious, my last shot is Mon. night. Thank you!
Avatar n tn How long that ribavirin stay's in my system after doctor tells me my bloodwork came out good and i can get of that medizin.
Avatar n tn I am running short on my Ribavirin. Does anyone know of any resources? What would be the least expensive way, assuming that my doc won't give my Rx.
26471 tn?1211936521 My organic chemistry is pretty rusty, but if PKR can be upregulated, what about adding additional phosphate groups? Well, maybe not, but this info holds a lot of promise. I'm multiple tx 1b, always looking for a new way out.
968560 tn?1307451498 I successfully completed a 48 week interferon/ribavirin treatment for hepatitis c. The reason I went to my doctor in the first place was the terrible chronic fatigue and flu like symptoms. After being diagnosed with hep-c and going thru the year of treatment, the body aches and fatigue continues. Sleep doesn't refresh me and i cant really do normal activities without becoming exausted. I have seen a cardiologist who checked my heart (heart O.K.) I was sent to a pulmonary M.D.
Avatar f tn The only way to increase Hmg is thru eating foods rich in iron. Those would include, meat, seafood, nuts, leafy green veggies, and I'm sure you remember good old Popeye "Eat your Spinach". If you have cirrhosis or late stage fibrosis, you must be careful consuming to much iron. You can take supplements in the B family, but during treatment I think you should only go the natural route, or ask your Doc.
Avatar m tn ve treated with interferon and ribavirin you still have as the same chance of achieving SVR with the new drugs as someone who is treatment naive. We do not develop a resistance to interferon and ribavirin. That only occurs with the protease inhibitors and failed treatment.
1893294 tn?1321217150 Some of us are on Sovaldi and Ribavirin and some of us are on Sovaldi w/Interferon and Ribavirin and no Olyssio. Depending on the overall condition of your health prior to treatment, what grade of damage to your liver you have, your weight, your age, how many times you've done treatment or if this is your first treatment..., all of these factors can come into play and affect how one feels. For example, I have asthma, Irrit.Bowel syndrome, osteopenia/low VIt.
Avatar f tn The most important issue for me would be if I got the study drug at the full dosage for viral clearance. In some studies you get a placebo, interferon, and ribavirin which is only 50% effective for curing genotype 1.
Avatar f tn I have heard that when pain reaches a certain degree,the chemistry of the brain is altered not only in how pain is processed but our moods,thought process,ability to do the very basic of functions.I believe that unless the total person is treated physicians overlook the relevance of treatment for a person living with chronic pain.Does anyone else consider this to make a difference when a doctor decides on a treatment plan?

Avatar n tn did you take the ribavirin and interferon on time as scheduled? It might benefit you to increase ribavirin dosage if possible, dependent on blood values. In short, something should probably change in regards to your medication to expect a different outcome the second treatment.
Avatar f tn Ribavirin can cause mouth sores and dehydration, which can make your mouth feel dry and have a bad taste. Ribavirin can cause you to have an allergic reaction that might show up as a rash on your skin. It can also show up as an irritation in your mouth and throat. If you normally get mouth ulcers, they may get worse while you are on treatment. Quick Tips: Eat soft or pureed foods. Baby foods or toddler foods may be good substitutes. Drink nectars instead of juices.

233616 tn?1312787196 However there is a whole generation who grew up with, and were medically trained to believe that tylenol could do no wrong, so I won’t debate the topic, I’ll simply mention that the research and current chemistry is converting more docs to a cautionary stance with every passing day. OK, enough of that, we aren’t here to debate Tylenol, we are here to understand how the liver deals with drugs. So, let’s begin. Here is my favorite P 450 Chart. http://medicine.iupui.edu/clinpharm/ddis/table.
10318302 tn?1409256668 Ribavirin is definitely not a walk in the park but the combo of the two (Riba & Interferon) is definitely much worse. My husband tried triple treatment with Incivik and lasted only 5 weeks on it. It almost killed him. He just completed the Sovaldi & Ribavirin treatment for 24 weeks. (He's gt 1a). He definitely had a rough time because he has hepatic encephalopathy and it was worsened with treatment BUT the important thing is he made it through treatment.
