304573 tn?1345577338 Hey guys........anyone doing or has done triple therapy with Teleprivir/Incivek? I was pretty sick last time I tx'd just on Peg/Riba and heard the third one makes you even sicker. I am terrified and have been acting a winmpy girl and been crying because I know all the crap I will have to endure AGAIN. That being said, also heard the SVR rate is awesome....
Avatar f tn is anyone else out there trying the new triple therapy w/ Incivek?
Avatar m tn Welcome to the forum there's lot of great information here. Every person has a different situation. Did you have a liver biopsy? That's important in your decision on whether to treat now or wait depending on your liver, your living situation, other health concerns, insurance, your support system. If you are the sole cg of young children will be harder then someone without. Every situation is different. This is great place to gather information. This triple therapy is tough.
Avatar f tn My mom is 56, she has got Hep C genotype 1a and she is going to start triple therapy on Monday, 12th of May. More I read about the side effects, more I scared... Any suggestion from people who has gone through this?
Avatar f tn Has anyone completed incivek triple therapy and had a healthy baby afterwards? It's been over 1 yr since I completed triple therapy and we would love to have another child. Thanks!
3246768 tn?1346936807 I start Triple Therapy tomorrow and I am absoluteky TERRIFIED!!! Im only 26 but have an infant and 4 year old and while medicaid is gonna pay for my meds I figure I better jump on it! Im taking the following medicines: Ribavirin 200mg tablet, INCIVEK 375mg tablet, & Pegintron Redipen 120mcg My nurse said first few shots would be rough but I read this not to be true, that they get worse and worse the further u go along!!
Avatar m tn I completed 24 weeks of incivek triple therapy around two weeks back. Last I saw my doctor was after 22 week lab. My doctor says it is not necessary to take VL after 24 weeks (last VL was done after 4 weeks and 12 weeks, I was UND both the times). I am scheduled to be done a VL after three months.
Avatar m tn Start triple therapy on Day 1 and complete the INCIVEK dosing portion of the regimen in 12 weeks. An additional 12 or 36 weeks of pegIFN-RBV alone is required.
1747881 tn?1546175878 I am very lucky and live close to Denver Co where they have a clinical trial that is the triple drug therapy, that is studying effects of a wieght based ribovirin dose compared to a standard mg dose Keith
Avatar n tn I had to stop the triple therapy for Hep C after 2 months due to an infection in my toe. My platelet count dropped to critical levels and I had no immune system. After 6 weeks of IV antibiotics I have returned to good health. I have never had any symptons of liver disease although I am at Stage 4 Cirrohsis. In the next few weeks I will restart the triple therapy. I am 59 and have had HEP C for 30 years. My doctor informed me there is little information on starting and stopping the therapy.
Avatar f tn My mum started INCIVEK triple therapy yesterday. So far she is ok.. But I am confused how she supposed to take INCIVEK with food or 30 min after food.. Please advise..
Avatar m tn Just a quick poll to see how many cirrhotics have done triple therapy and what their experience was?
Avatar n tn m asking please if is it possable that if i take the drug sitagliptin it would mean i could reduce the gliclazide and stop the mrtformin my Diabetes is well controlled on the whole but my nurse as requested i increase the glicazide
Avatar m tn So a hepatologist at the transplant center has suggested triple therapy with Telaprevir for recurrence of Hep C and is going to help her with this treatment? Yes? While there is very little data available (only form very small studies- 10 or less patients) about the improvement of SVR rate over peg-interferon and Ribavirin, it is assumed that SVR rates are higher than with the 2 drug treatment. The SVR rate using only peg-INF and RBV among post transplant patients is only 30%.
Avatar f tn I am four days in triple therapy(Int.Riba.Inc) I've already have sever rash that is both stabbing and itchy, bowels are in an uproar and general malaise and I also yelled at my husband today (I don't do that) is this normal so early in treatment? Background: 55 yo female prior treatments x 2, lung cancer, hep c stage 3/4 Any comments would be apprciated.
Avatar f tn When I felt like you described, I had anemia hypoxia, which was/is caused by my triple therapy (Incivek). Anemia hypoxia is a lack of oxygen to the brain (& body) and is caused by low red blood cell ccounts. It can be aggravated by altitude. I see you live near sea level. That helps. You symptoms could be related to something other than hypoxia. Make sure you discuss them with your doctor. I'm very interested in your hemoglobin test results.
Avatar f tn However, in patients with treatment failure on protease inhibitor–based triple therapy, drug-susceptible viruses have been largely eliminated, and drug-resistant variants with varying levels of replicative fitness predominate. Continuing therapy with a direct-acting agent in the presence of ongoing viral replication provides continued selective pressure on drug-resistant variants, promoting the selection of additional mutations that can increase their replicative fitness.
5187984 tn?1364876395 I started triple therapy on Friday and by Saturday I was unable to get off the couch. I am 57 and in great health except for the cirrhosis, is it normal to be so sick and does it lessen over time? I am so confused about wether this is going to help my liver or hurt it, will I be able to get a transplant if I still have Hep C? So many questions...just really confused and need to care for a 4 year old so this being out of it is not ok.
Avatar f tn Hello. I am new to all of this and would like to know if anyone is doing triple therapy with victrelis and if so, what can i expect please. I should begin tx in the next few weeks. Thank you.
Avatar f tn Which Triple treatment are you going to be doing? I did Triple with Victrelis, but there is a four week lead in, of just the Interferon shot (that took about 4~6 hrs to come on, just tired, achey, took a nap) and the Ribaviran pills ( I never felt bad from those, but they may cause anemia, especially when taken with the Victrelis.
Avatar m tn I am now on my 3rd week of the triple therapy. The pegasys injections do cause me to run a fever and ache etx. After about the first week i broke out in the horrible rash everyone warns about, but my GI was able to control it almost immediately. Other than that, so far so good. Just the run of the mill nausea etx that seems to be pretty common in everyone's posts. The only suggestion i have for anyone is to most definately speak with your GI about everything.
