13495566 tn?1431029924 Does anybody have the package insert that comes with HARVONI- section 8.7 -says not proven to help cirrhosis. That is one of my denial reasons--I don't know if it says that. Trying to find out.
446474 tn?1446347682 Victrelis (boceprevir) Labeling Update On November 2, 2012, the Victrelis (boceprevir) package insert and Medication Guide was updated to include postmarketing information about serious acute hypersensitivity reactions observed during boceprevir, peginterferon, and ribavirin combination therapy. The following sections of the package insert were updated. A new contraindication was added to section 4: Patients with a history of a hypersensitivity reaction to boceprevir Section 5.
446474 tn?1446347682 good summary but a couple of details don't look right. The actual response rates confirmed by the FDA are in the staff review summaries. For boce: http://www.fda.gov/downloads/AdvisoryCommittees/CommitteesMeetingMaterials/Drugs/AntiviralDrugsAdvisoryCommittee/UCM252341.pdf and for tela http://www.fda.gov/downloads/AdvisoryCommittees/CommitteesMeetingMaterials/Drugs/AntiviralDrugsAdvisoryCommittee/UCM252561.pdf For boce's P05216(SPRINT-2) the staff summary (Table 1) gives 63 and 66.
Avatar f tn The package insert in the riba pack says to wait 6 months, but I think Trish has a good point. The little person you are wanting is going to live with you for a long time, so a little more waiting just to be safe would be a good idea.

299628 tn?1208382598 Hopefully there is some reasonable explanation for this - either the wrong package insert getting put into the meds or a newly hired asst. pharmacist reading a doctors scrawl wrong. The thought that any doctor would Rx that stuff or any licensed pharmacist fill the 'script without questioning it in this day and age is sorta chilling. I didn't know they even still made Inron A or Roferon..
1838299 tn?1403492543 If you doc reads the ribavirin package insert directions it says that for anemia the standard protocol is to reduce ribavirin to 600 mg per day if hemoglobin <10 g/dl, first. If < 8.5 g/dL interrupt dose. Then see if hemoglobin level rise. In the clinical trial most patients did rise. Only 4% stopped treatment owing to anemia. 1. The proper protocol is to reduce ribavirin to 600 mg when hemoglobin is less than <10 g/dl.
Avatar f tn Willing (a forum member) posted this in a comment on another thread today about new PI data coming out of The Liver Meeting: "Ribavirin is genotoxic and mutagenic and should be considered a potential carcinogen." Which comes from the package insert. Who knows? The meds, aging, HCV... regardless, you need to take care of yourself and get well. Sure hope things go well. Keep us posted.
Avatar n tn Ribavirin is a Federal Drug Administration Pregnancy Category X product, indicating that its use is contraindicated in women who are pregnant. The package insert also states that ribavirin is contraindicated in men whose partners may become pregnant. The Ribavirin Pregnancy Registry operates in the United States and actively monitors pregnancy exposures to ribavirin.
Avatar n tn In my package insert it says that there is a 1 - 10% chance that people might experience decreased libido and/or temporary impotence.

Avatar f tn there's a good reason you can't find it : it's not there! Merck did not include null-responders in its phase3 re-tx trials. Nevertheless they applied for FDA approval for nulls based on their other data and received it. The situation is very similar to Vertex asking for approval of 24w for cEVR relapsers though they never tested that. That was also granted. In both cases approval seems well justified, though it's clearly less desirable than something already measured.
1145751 tn?1262133453 Ok so I got these Prometrium capsules and it states on the package insert that these capsules are oral capsule. My OB's direction is to insert it vaginally as a suppository. Im concerned because the capsules outside gel is pretty thick. I just dont want to keep shoving these things in me and it not dissolve. Has anyone used oral capsules as suppository?
Avatar f tn All medications come with something called a 'package insert' which has labeling that includes any risks. Did you tell your doctor that you are expecting? I would just call the office to be safe and tell them you are pregnant and want to know if the antibiotic prescribed for you is safe during pregnancy.
Avatar n tn I do have the insert at home. It said if there were NO lines it was inconclusive, but nothing about a line in the circle and nothing in the oval. The way it reads, for it to be positive, there should be a line in each opening. I will be taking another one tonight, hoping it is more conclusive. thanx!
Avatar f tn Yes, I read the insert. So your saying that its accurate rite?
488823 tn?1218370567 If you read the package insert that comes with your Ribavirin it explains the dangers of pregnancy during treatment. The drugs you take have no effect on your wife physically.
