tacrolimus iv infusion

Hi, Primacor IV infusion is indicated in short term treatment of acute decompensated heart failure or as maintenance therapy in long standing heart failure. Side effects to this drug are rare but can occur due to associated drugs used for treating heart failure. A patient on this medication needs continuous monitoring when initiated plus regular blood work to follow electrolyte levels, renal function (kidney), as well the blood pressure and heart rhythm need to be followed.

Okay sooo I finished up my 5 day IV Infusion this past Monday (8/21) and I still feel all drugged up :(. In fact I almost feel worse than I did before I went in to start the process UGH! I can say that most of the numbness I had in my feet and legs has gotten better but now my left hand is going numb and I still get that annoying shock down my spinal cord when I look down, lhermittes sign . When I got done the steroids had my whole body tingling just standing there....so bizarre!

Gave me 15mg of Ketamine slow 10 min iv push infusion w/ Lorazepam and Midazolam IV and it helped the pain, a lot, also the 20-30mg IV Very Slow 1000ml bag of infusion over 45 min to 1/hr. helped with my Pain, PTSD and depression alot ((no hallucinations w/ myself just dissociated )) and my audio was distorted Ketamine is the hospital's version of PCP and it will be coming back also as an alternative to Narcotics. from the world for me just like laughing Gas for me.

After great thought and some research, I decided to go for my first monthly infusion of IV Solu Medrol. I had my whole spine MRI, including the lumbar just recently, and over these years I've probably had the best workup done, as far as the mimics are concerned. So far the MRI of the spine has showed nothing (nothing structurally) and I've never "hit" on any MS mimic blood panel, so I felt comfortable enough seeing what effect the steroids would do.

My daughter has been having problems ever since she had an iron iv infusion for anemia of 9.2 hgb. She has been having severe cramping in her feet and legs, terrible back, hip pain, and pain in her bones. At times she has had joint pain. She had a reaction during the infusion and it had to be stopped. She had an abnormal EKG showing bradycardia. She also had,nausea, and vomiting during and after the infusion, No one took her vidal signs during or after the procedure.

I had my second infusion on Wednesday of last week. During my infusion, I was freezing/chilling. I asked for a blanket and a little later, when I was still so cold, they adjusted the A/C. Nothing was said to me that chills could be a reaction. As soon as I left, I felt nausea, dizziness, off balance, jello legs, I fell against the wall outside of the building on my way out.....and I had this internal tremor/vibration shaking feeling inside.

Mother is in the hospital, the nurse to mother infusion, mother infusion right arm is swollen, nurses decided to use mother left arm infusion, let me help pass the infusion tube, I was taken finger once by infusion tube needles, four weeks later , I catch a cold, have a fever, played a few urticaria, urticaria up immediately after disappear, after eleven days I have a sore throat, then 12 days after again a few urticaria up, until now has more than forty days, appeared the chest, neck, thigh pai

s hand broken by the Infusion tube when she tried to insert infusion bottle,and flow a little blood. She changed a Infusion tube , but I'm not sure her blood have not into the bottle, but her wound not touch the needle but contact with my hand.Have a risk?

Please let them do their job - insist on it - and you relax and be the patient, ok? Have you considered calling tomorrow and setting up the next iv at the infusion center?

d like to hear stories of cure. My next stage of treatment should be IV, but which one(s) and for how long? Should this be via a 24hr pump or can I just get an in arm IV port to hit throughout the day? I won't let lack of health insurance and limited funds prevent my recovery, I'll beg if I have to.

I have to do 6 months of iv steroids. 3 days every month with NO taper! I have just finished my second round...and I'm ready to through in the towel. The side affects of the steroids are at this point almost not worth doing. They are trying to prevent a relapse since I am not on any MS therapy. Anyone else going through anything similar? I can't handle the fatigue, shakes, fever, redness, pain, nightsweats, constipation, irritability, overall feeling of crap!

I know this is really silly, but I am going to be doing my IV Solu-Medrol treatments on my own and I'm a bit anxious about it. A nurse will come over tomorrow to get the line in and show me what to do, but then next few treatments will be on my own. I didn't know that until the agency told me that I'll only see the nurse the one time and I was on my own. Any suggestions or words of reassurance would be most appreciated. Thanks a bunch. You guys are awesome.

Yayy, Chris! I love my Ty, and I don't take anything before my infusion, other than lots of fluids so that I'm easy to start an IV. Well, welcome to the club!

So, yes you can get a sore arm from an IV but most of the time it is from trauma to the area or a badly inserted IV etc. You can get an infection at an IV site but they do use Betadine Iodine and other antiseptics to clean the area well. Usually, the infection comes from an IV or catheter tip left in for several days or longer. A well known source of infection is by Staphylococcus epidermidis (usually) but there are other organisms that can infect a catheter site.

He wants me to do steriod infusion therapy (outpatient) to stop the attacks and hopefully hold me off till the Rebif starts working. (Been on it 2 months) So I have questions about the infusion therapy. Anyone that can give their experience please do. He ordered a new brain MRI a new C-spine MRI and a T-spine MRI plus an Evoked Potentials. So he is going on vacation next week for 3 weeks. They want all this done B4 he goes.

The pain in my head has returned intermittently but usually only lasts a day at a time...the final IV infusion did nothing to rectify the pain...it was just time as usual. I also suffered from severe numbness in the left side of my face which has never really gone away but doesn't seem to concern any doctor so I just go on with life. So to wrap it up...

s closer to home. (My LLMD has an infusion room with a full time nurse, recliners, IV poles, and blankets to keep patients warm and cozy. ) If you want to do them yourself at home, you have to be trained. In my research, I spoke with one infusion pharmacy that said they required a nurse for each infusion or shot. I think that's more about their desire for more business and reduced liability than it was concern for patient safety.

was it much more than doing it at the infusion center? I have BCBS. I think I want to do a round of IVSM....but don't want to have to drive an hour and a half to get it three-five days in a row. There's an urgent care/wellness clinic close by and it says they have an infusion suite. I called them to ask if they could do it I haven't heard anything back.

So I am anemic and always have been since I started getting my periods at around age 13. I also have an iron deficiency and I've been taking iron pills prescribed by my hemotologist (blood doctor) but i guess they aren't working and now tomorrow I have to go iron through an IV which takes about 5 hours. I know it'll make me feel so much better and not as tired, dizzy, and weak. Has anyone else had to get one before?

well, I was expecting this one to be effortless but failed to meet my expectations. The nurse almost missed the loomingly large IV site and then pushed the Decadron too fast, giving me weird symptoms, and then I got a headache from the Tysabri (perhaps because the Decadron was pushed too fast?) and was over 12 hrs shaking that one, but eventually shook it with a pharmaceutical cocktail.

I have been on iv infusion for 9 weeks now with very slow progress. Purchased rife machine, two times on with extreme herx, Sweats, fatigue, knee sweeping. Has anyone else had good results with rife? Wondering how much infusion is helping?

Yes it was 1g! They mixed in with a 300ml IV bag and set it for 100ml per hour. Maybe it was the slower infusion that kept me from getting the metallic taste. At first I had thought it was inexperience or raw skill with the sticking things in me because the nurses were younger in age. But the last too times I have had blood work or this IV the nurses were pretty old. Plus this last time it was in the day procedure ward.

About 7 years ago, I had my first iron infusion. I was told gastirc by-pass patients often do not absorb iron. I also am B-12 deficient. I had 2 additional infusions within the next few years. In March 2008 my doctor said I was anemic and I went back to the same hematologist. He said I was not anemic and could not help me. In March 2009, I was told my hemoglobin was 10 (not too low), but my ferritin level was 4.

I had home infusion for IV solumedrol the second time I was put on it. My husband was alos in Iraq when I had to do that home infusion, what a coincidence. I had my first dose in the hospital and frankly, would have been really anxious to do that for the first time ever at home. If you are not in bad shape as far as walking, which I was at the time I was hospitalized, you don't necessarily need to be in a hospital to have it, but you should have been sent to an infusion center.
