ribavirin in india

Sofosbuvir will NOT be available in India next year as far as I know. India has had many issues treating hepatitis C using older treatments and doesn't I believe even had triple therapy that has been available for 2 years in the US and Europe. If approved by the drug regulatory agencies in the US and Europe it will only be available in the US and Europe and I guess Canada in 2014. India and other countries may have to wait many years for the treatment to be available.

But the I dont see any update in the Roche website or any other pages on this change. With all the problems in the Pharmaceutical world in India, I am not sure if I should go for the drug or not. What should I do? I need to get the injection tomorrow.

I am being treated by the head of hepatolgy at All India Instt of Medical Sciences--- the biggest hosp in India. I have taken a second opinion from another renowned hepatologist who has been entrusted by the govt of India to develop Asia's biggest Hepatobiliary instt. I have actually completed more than 72 weeks and will see my doctor in 3 days. My personal gastro says he may continue me on IFN. Another junior doctor in the same instt once said they may give me this lifelong.

My doctor says we will have a re- treatment with Pegintron, RBV and Telaprevir. Is Telaprevir available in India. If not where in the Asian countries can i have the treatment.

6 Clinical studies have shown that when subjects with HCV genotype 1a have this polymorphism at baseline, the efficacy of simeprevir in combination with PEG and ribavirin is substantially reduced.6 Consequently, alternative therapy should be considered for such patients.6 http://education.questdiagnostics.

Hi all My husband has chronic hep C, geno 1b and is in his 6th week of using Interferon/Ribavirin/Simeprevir and he's feeling lousy. Has anyone ever used this combination in conjunction with Sofosbuvir (Sovaldi) and if so did you need any other supporting drugs?

I looked from your Bio screen, that you live in India. If your Mom is there , too, The Sovaldi should start being available there shortly as Gilead has worked out a deal with a number of Countries to provide the Sovaldi, in generic form, for a reasonable cost (one we here in the US sre not allowed to purchase). So, if it is not available now, it should be shortly. You might want to see if her Doctor knows when it is/will be available.

Also, please look on the List od threads on the same page that this is and read the post Harvoni in India. There are a couple of people on there Who live in India and can probably tell you much more quickly than I can, where you can get good treatment for your Mom. I'll keep in touch as I have my Labs on May 20th, and Dr appt on June 8th. by the way (BTW), has your Mom had a biopsy? If so, what was the report?

A retrospective study was carried on Jun 1st 2001 to Feb 28th 2002 at a tertiary care liver speciality hospital located in south India. The previously enrolled viral hepatitis patient medication records (PMRs) had been perused, out of which 830 patients had taken the combinational drug (chloroquine, intercalating and anti-viral agents) treatment for CHB. These 830 patients were included for our study and called for clinical, biochemical investigations and follow-up.

I will be starting treatment in May. I do have Insurance but I am on pins and needles worried about what my co-pay for these meds will be. I am a 2b recently diagnosed. I am assuming I will be doing the traditional Peg/Interferone with the Ribav..bla bla bla Sounds like some of us might be better off without insurance, in some of these cases! Sad to say! Would someone be so kind to share their experiences with their Insurance Co. related to their Hep C. condition I have Blue Cross BS.....

Gilead had partnered up with 7 Indian companies in September last year to manufacture Generic sovaldi in India Yesterday the Sovaldi was launched in India at a cost of Indian Rupees ( approx 20.000 / about $300 for 28 tablets ) and it is now readily available over the shelf with a Docs prescription . I have already spoken to the company representative and he said i could get it as early as in 1 day if i wanted . i will post the link of the launch below .

• The hemolytic anemia associated with ribavirin therapy may result in worsening of cardiac disease and lead to fatal and nonfatal myocardial infarctions. Patients with a history of significant or unstable cardiac disease should not be treated with Ribasphere (2.3, 5.2, 6.1). • Significant teratogenic and embryocidal effects have been demonstrated in all animal species exposed to ribavirin.

is cryoablation available in india?......

(not that he could help it if things were bad) but the first thing he did when the quake hit was get a count there and check on everyone in India and get word to the spouses in the states. I am so mentally slow today I cant seem to put two and two together.

pdf Sofosbuvir is the generic name for Sovaldi, being that you are in Pakistan, you should be able to get the generic from India, I would avoid interferon if possible

I see you live in Mumbai, is she under the hospital there ? There are treatments available but I dont know the situation in India. I suggest you continue to ask questions and get support here but also go along to the hospital with your mother and find out all you can about her condition.
