Avatar m tn However, hepatitis C can be associated with certain kinds of glomerulonephritis.

Avatar m tn This is a rather detailed and complicated article about ribavirin and its role in HCV treatment. It's a Medscape article so you must be registered to view. Registration is easy and free and worth the effort. I will paste the beginning paragraph of the article so you'll have an idea of what you're getting into.

Avatar n tn Hello Dr., i have a couple of uncommon questions. I was diagnosed with pneumonia (not sure which one) went to the emergency room for stabbing chest pains. Do not know if i was given antibiotics for bacterial pneumonia or antivirals for viral pneumonia and respiratory syncytial virus, from what i've read those could include ribavirin, tamiflu, relenza, iv antibiotics, amantadine etc. Took an elisa after 6 months of my possible exposure and it came back negative.
Avatar n tn s hard to miss the vein unless they are very bad at it. Drink a lot of water so your veins swell and are easy to feel. Usually they put iv in the crook of my arm, like a blood test, because I have a very good vein there. They don't hurt me anymore unless the person is inexperienced and ends up digging around in my arm with the needle to find the vein.
Avatar m tn Is the idea for the Ribavirin to weaken the immune system in order for the Interferon to stay in a persons system longer? If thats the case, could coming-down with the common cold be fatal while on tx? And what kind of danger am I in if I contract a strain of the Flu thats supposed to hit this year, God forbid the H1N1?

Avatar m tn Hi all. just found this forum & reading through your posts. I am a health professional, just found out I tested positive for hcv, which is freaking me out. Most likely through patient exposure. Also a single mom, so I have to take care of my health at all costs. I've read the side effects of the newest drug combinations, and they sound horrible. Kind of makes the possible ALA side effects seem like a walk in the park. I am wondering if anyone here has done both.
Avatar f tn iv recently found out am genotype 4 and going to start treatment to try and clear it. am hep c pos 9 years. has anyone here cleared type 4 as my consultant told me its the most rare type and hardest to be cleared of.most common in eygpt. and the success rate only 50/50. anyone!!!!!!!!
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.
