Avatar f tn Chinese medicine will not cure hep c But if you are waiting to treat for a while you can go to a reputable practitioner. Don't believe this **** that it won't help you. People that don't know anything about it will tell you that. It can cive you some time until you decide. Interferon is horrible stuff and is not for everyone. I went to Zhang's clinic in manhattan and he helped me with side effects and lowering my ALT/AST until I decided to treat 6 months ago.
Avatar m tn Solvaldi & Ribavirin could work together. Has anyone heard anything about this ? Also you can go to Web MD & qualify for a $ 5.00 Co-pay for a six month supply. This regiment, S& R is a 12 week program ! Gilead is giving to those that can't afford $ 1000.00 a pill . 12 week treatment for solvadi alone would be Eighty four thousand dollars !

1205205 tn?1272394483 Hi All- I know this may sound dumb, but my niece threw my bottle of Ribavirin Capsules against the wall (She was mad at her mom- and grabbed the first thing in sight- which happened to be my brand new bottle). I opened the bottle immediately after to see if there was any damage. All the capsules seem intact, however, would there be any damage to the medicine itself? I looked it up online, and they said never to "open, break, or chew on capsules.
547181 tn?1255146506 I have also discussed this issue with my doc and asked him to recomend some medicine for this problem. My doc said it is highly recomended that i shouldnt use any medicine untill the acidity becomes un-bearable or stays longer than 12-15 days. He only recomended Citris Soda powder to use with water twice a day only for 3 days but it didn't help a lot. Is there any food which can reduce acidity???

Avatar n tn Often the ribavirin causes nausea for the first few weeks, but then fades. Make sure you take the ribavirin on a full stomach. I also use PPI's like prilosec, H2 blockers like Zantac and reglan(metoclopramide) which is much cheaper than Zofran.You can take them all together as well. The ribavirin also alters your taste for food and nothing tastes good either sometimes confusing the issue with nausea. Good luck!

Should I take my next Rib at 11am? ALSO, about 15 or 20 minutes after I took my 11pm Inciv & Rib with an avacado I threw it up. Sorry to if this is a bit gross, but I threw up the avacado and saw the "shell" of the incevik, all gelled up. Did the medicine get into my body?
