ribavirin for herpes

I understand that Ribavirin is available for the treatment of genetal herpes. Does it cure it? Is it available? Could I request it through a Health Plan such as Kaiser?

For the management of anemia, ribavirin dose reductions should be used (refer to the prescribing information for ribavirin for its dose reduction guidelines). If ribavirin dose reductions are inadequate, discontinuation of INCIVEK should be considered. If ribavirin is permanently discontinued for the management of anemia, INCIVEK must also be permanently discontinued. Ribavirin may be restarted per the dosing modification guidelines for ribavirin.

While on treatment I had no out breaks. Just had my first one this week after being off treatment for 8mo. But I don't think you want to take Ribavirin for that!!! So, I would do what Tashka said and find out what the antiviral med are. In fact maybe I should too.

The standard duration of pegylated interferon/ribavirin alone is 48 weeks for people with genotype 1 and 24 weeks for those with genotypes 2 or 3. NEUTRINO enrolled 327 previously untreated chronic hepatitis C patients with HCV genotypes 1, 4, 5, and 6. These genotypes have traditionally been considered "hard to treat," but as several studies at the congress showed, all may not be equally difficult, just as genotypes 2 and 3 are not equally "easy to treat".

Please don't panic, as I'm not certain of the need for 48 weeks of treatment for 2b's w/cirrhosis. I tried to look it up but it's hard for me to wade through all the info. to find the answer right now. Hopefully some of the smarter members will get on to give you their opinion. I was just saying I would ask my doc if I were in your shoes. My biopsy showed stage 3 fibrosis 21 months prior to my starting treatment and I was questioning my NP about it.

a mo or so after treatment ends, the sx of ribavirin stay with you for at least six mos., although substantially decreased, and it may cause michtochondrial changes in your blood cells.....

I have genotype 2 and my doctor is telling me that I should take 1000 mg of riba a day. I understand that for geno 2 that 800 mg a day should be sufficient. I am about 25 lbs overweight. could that be why? I think a lower dosage would be better as far as sides go. What do you guys think?

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.

t help that I was denied patient assistance for Infergen and would have to pay for the medication myself (which I cannot). I can very likely get patient assistance for Peg-Intron. What should I do?

Solvadi is approved for people with genotypes 1 and 4, in combination with interferon and ribavirin. People with genotypes 2 and 3 can use Solvadi with ribavirin alone. That means they will no longer have to take interferon which has many side effects that many people find makes treatment difficult. The wholesale cost of a 12-week course of Olysio, will be about $66,000. The wholesale cost of a 12-week course of Solvadi will be about $84,000.

I am still getting those bumps appearing and really itching if I wear my wedding ring. My meds for herpes mouth soars doesn't affect my finger at all. I think all these drugs we are on just bring out things that possibly just lay dormant without there help. With one day left, yeah, all the weird things will probably go away. You have done so well!

*****But it also said that sofosbuvir plus ribavirin for 24 weeks may be considered for genotype 1 patients who are ineligible for or unable to tolerate interferon.***** http://www.hivandhepatitis.com/hcv-treatment/experimental-hcv-drugs/4438-fda-approves-sofosbuvir-sovaldi-for-hepatitis-c-genotypes-1-2-3-and-4 As willbb said, "Have you had discussion about possibly waiting a while longer to do an approved treatment with a comb. of the all-oral drugs in the near future?

Excellent results from using ABT-450/r–Ombitasvir and Dasabuvir with or without Ribavirin for HCV. (Improved SVR rates in Genotype 1a with the Ribavirin versus without the Ribavirin.

The best option for Geno 2 is Ribavirin and Sovaldi . The length of time is typically 12-16 weeks. I was treatment naïve and took it for 12 weeks without problems and cleared the virus. Best to you .......

what do you suggest her now?should she go for pegulated interferon?how is the result of pegulated interferon?

The prescribing information for Epclusa calls for 12 weeks of treatment either alone or with ribavirin.

If I recall correctly, Hector was on Sovaldi and Ribavirin for 48 weeks. Then he had to stop. They would go only 48 week with the Sovaldi and Ribavirin. The virus became Detectable again after he stopped the Sovaldi and Ribavirin and before he could get his transplant. But he did finally get his transplant. I am sure he will know the answers to any questions you have about your situation.
