ribavirin side effects medicine

Guess I got my answer 9.9 hemoglobin. Add procrit to the list.

my qestion is interferon and ribavirin is the new medicine for hcv i want to know abour side effect of this medicine and can person completlt overcome from this disease with this medicine

I just attended a course on the triple treatment that includes Victrelis. The PA who ran the course said that I wasn't likely to develope any new side affect with Victrelis but that it is likely to intensify the side effects I am having with just the Interferon & Ribavirin. Do you all fing this to be mostly accurate?

First week in the books and relatively minimal side effects. An occasional mild headache. Some anal burn and itch that began the morning after the first dosage and has been with me since. Very mild but worth noting. Overall, I feel fantastic.

I am probably experiencing every side effect this medicine can deliver. Have had 2 transfusions within 4 weeks of each other and the second one only increased my cell count from 7.5 to 7.7. I was given Procrit and was told that I may have to have this injection every week. I am also experiencing sores and problems in my mouth. The doctor says that this is also a side effect to the medicine.

Have headaches and insomnia but a piece of cake compared to the Interferon/ribavirin. The ribavirin is known to have more problematic side effects. Studies show for most genotypes the SVR rate for this combo isn't too much difference without the Ribavirin. If it's really getting you down talk to your doctor. It may be that the Ribavirin could be dropped? Good luck, hope you get feeling better.

There are lots of side effects that are related to ribavirin however it's hard to find information about it that doesn't include interferon. I know one of our members did the trial for 24 weeks and she experienced some of the same post tx side effects that I had even though I also did interferon. It had to be from the riba.

what side effects can i expect after 48 weeks of treatment for geno type 1,and for how long

Before that it was 18 months of Interferon and Riba and that was like the land of the walking dead. Lol. No long term side effects from either treatment and very glad to know current treatments are so much better and less invasive.

my male partner is taking solvadi and ribivarin and I just found out I am pregnant the doc told him to take precautions to avoid getting their partner pregnant but I cant find any information about how the medication effects when the male is taking the medicine and the female gets pregnant if anyone has any information on this please let me know I am so worried about whether everything is going to be okay with the baby or not

I am currently taking the Telepriver protocol with copeg/pegasys interferon/ribavirin etc,,, am in my fourth week and I have some very uncomfortable side effects. 'Roids are a BIG issue,,, traditional treatments are offering minimal relief/results,, anyone had similar complaints? How did you handle it?

THOUGHT I WAS GOING CRAZY BEFORE I FOUND YOU GUY. SIDE EFFECTS MUCH MORE THAN WE HAD BEEN LED TO BELIEVE.PERSONALLY HAVE THE BLURRY VISION, ENHANCED JOINT PAIN, SWEATS, AND SLEEP NOT GOOD. FINALLY SAW FEED BACK FROM THE COMMUNITY THAT VERIFIED OTHERS FEELING SAME. ANYONE FEELING ANYTHING ELSE ODD? PLEASE POST. ALSO HAVE BLOATING, IRRITABILITY. AND CONTRARY TO WHAT DOCTORS SAY, I'M ALWAYS CONSTIPATED.

HI. I also caught this disease when I was very young in the late 60s early 79s . I was married to an iv drug user. The experts say I probably didnt catch it by sexual contact but probably by using his razor/toothbrush. I was diagnosed last year with f4 fibrosis but not cirrhosis genotype 1a. Started triple therapy 10 weeks ago stopped on Monday as couldn't cope with side effects. The physical side effects I could cope with but nit the daily panic attacks I was getting.

Everyone is soooooo different. You may have no side effects at all. My side effects were terrible but I think I could have managed going to school, nothing else though. School and sleep. he brain fog is difficult. You are young though and probably more resilient than some of us older folks. It is a tough call since you really can't predict. Best of luck with the decision.

For 12 weeks My question is not so much about the Sovaldi but is there anyone out there on Ribavirin and if you are experiencing side effects of it? Does it get worse as the days progress. Is there anything you could do to help ease the side effects? This is definitely a life changing experience as I am 60 years old and just enjoying life as a grandmother. Would live to hear more about others and their experiences with the disease and treatments.

I finished 12 weeks of Sovaldi and Ribavirin on April 22. I had no side effects at all and was able to continue my XC skiing and cycling as normal. Some do have side effects like fatigue, headache and anemia but I have not heard about anything very severe with this treatment.

This is extremely variable. Some people feel side effects the evening that they inject. For others, the side effects don't show themselves until they've been undergoing treatment for weeks or months and the drugs have had a chance to build in their system. A lucky few never experience significant side effects at all. So it's hard to say. You might feel them early, late, or never at all.

Taking this medicine sometimes with food or sometimes on an empty stomach may decrease the effectiveness and/or increase your risk of side effects. It may be best to take this medicine with food (more medicine might be absorbed into your bloodstream)….” LOL!!!

I just looked up all of the side effects of Pegasys, Ribavirin and Incivek and none of them lists tinnitis as a side effect. However, I also have worsening tinnitis. I am on Wellbutrin and Wellbutrin can cause tinnitis. I had the tinnitis (from the Wellbutrin) before starting triple med treatment. However, the tinnitis has definitely worsened since I have been on the triple med treatement (only 2 weeks).

I think she will say to take 24 weeks of Harvoni, maybe also Ribavirin. From what I have read it seems like Ribavirin produces quite strong side effects, not as bad as Interferon did previously but still. Perhaps your husband should do Harvoni for 24 weeks to make sure he does not relapse? Wishing you best of luck!

What has been the most noticed side effects of Olysio/Sovaldi combo? Today is my first dose.

I am infected with Hep-C and now taking peg interferon injections with ribavirin for the past two months. Last Saturday I took 7th injection. Side effects are numerous. I have to take fever medicine twice a day even with pain killers. Major side effect is significant decrease in ejaculation time. That was never before. I am very worried about that so as my partner. Can anyone guide me how to combat during and after treatment?
