Common Questions and Answers about Truvada in pregnancy

truvada

Avatar f tn Truvada is classified by the FDA as a pregnancy category B drug which means it is safe during pregnancy. During my pregnancy I used Tenofovir which is also cat B and my baby is healthy thanks god. I never stopped taking it. I don't know much about Truvada but as long as it is category B, I believe it is fine. Confirm with your dr. Goood luck.
Avatar f tn Since Truvada is also meant for HIV patitents as well. Why not just use Viread ? My Dr. answered me Truvada is more safer to use at this pregnancy stage. Though i found online both Truvada and Viread have been categorized B level for pregnant women. 2) What confuses me further, Truvada is not even approved by FDA for HIB treatment? 3) This makes me crazy, that I've to take Truvada for lifetime, what if I've to be pregnant again?
Avatar f tn 1 - reactive) is good because low (in cronic hbv is always in the thouzands) although i am more familiar with iu/ml or s/n, when you reach 10iu/ml the possibility to have negative is very high and it is also very important to monitor if it declines from base line to 24 and 48 weeks or stays about the same i have seen a patient cleared hbv+hdv in 10 months interferon+truvada combo but truvada has more sides than etv and probably inf+entecavir is the about the same i guess interferon is the most
Avatar m tn These combos are all studied in vitro in 2009. I would interpret the results cautiously. Look like Truvada is the only one in clinical trials.
Avatar m tn then what forum do u suggest post in? since truvada has to do with hiv. and im sure theres lots of people taking truvada who would want to know. and i wasnt asking if truvada helps with corona virus. i was asking if it inhibits your ability to fight it off.
Avatar m tn Yesterday, I took 1 Truvada at 7am but since I was in a hurry after dinner, I accidentally took one more Truvada last night. I tried to vomit it up but I was able to vomit only a part (dissolved part) of it. Because of panic, I forgot to take Kaletra last night. I rushed to the A&E and asked the doctor's advice on what to do. Since I waited for more than 3 hours before I was able to see the doctor, I was already drowsy when the doctor talked to me.
6820012 tn?1385089216 Truvada is 100% effective as PrEP, or nearly so, as long as it is taken properly and there are good amounts of drug in the system at the time of exposure. Truvada is the main medicine that has been studied and recommended for PrEP. It is a combination of two drugs, tenofovir and emtricitabine. Maybe some things you read used these names, so you didn't see the Truvada brand name. I don't know if taking PPI drugs interferes with effectiveness against PrEP.
Avatar m tn How can I change from taking Truvada in the noon to taking Truvada at midnight? For instance, should I do two doses of Truvada in one 24 hour period or should I do no doses in one 24 hour period to get it right? 3. When the doctors prescribed the medication I ended up taking 4x the recommended dose of Aluvia. This was due to me having received four cans of Aluvia,not realizing that each can was meant to last 1 week.
Avatar f tn You never had an exposure.
Avatar m tn I am a gay male and have taken Truvada as PrEP daily since last November. This past week, I ran out of my Truvada after taking it on Tuesday morning. Prior to that, I had taken it daily for more than a month. I did not take Truvada on Wednesday or Thursday. I changed insurances and wanted to wait to pick up my refill until I got my copay and assistance straightened out. On Friday I had anal sex as the bottom with a man I know who says he is negative.
Avatar m tn This is a potential concern because the drugs in Truvada – tenofovir and emtricitabine – are active against HBV as well as HIV. HIV and HBV are spread through some common transmission routes, including sexual transmission, vertical transmission (mother to child) and via multi-person use of injection equipment.
Avatar m tn Hi Doctor, Sorry for my English in advance, I am very nervous and worry. I am gay (bottom), I met a stranger yesterday and we had sex. I am very sure he used a condom in the beginning, as I double checked. However, in the middle, he suddenly stopped and insert again, I thought he was putting more gel, but when he put in again, I found very strange and I push him away and I found he pull off the condom, the unprotected contact was only about 2 seconds and halfway in.
Avatar n tn But I could realized that she was quite worried because I had had only Truvada in the begining of my treatment and in the very deadline edge. This is the first time in my life I'm going through a situation like that, and in another country that not mine, far from my Family and friends, it's really hard.
Avatar m tn my window period for pap closing tomorrow and i am only taking truvada, and i m reading that usually truvada taken with other hiv prophylaxis meds, so this is what i wanted to know if truvada only is enough for prophylaxis. i m calling a doctor but he is not picking up...
Avatar m tn yes you are right, etv will work but for a short time (about 50-70% resistance at 5 years), very bad solution i suggest check hbvdna with ultrasensitive hbvdna and see if it increases, decreases again because truvada resistance is very unlikly although not impossible you can check with this supersensitive assay http://www.ngi.com/ http://www.ngi.com/downloads/hbv_ultraqual.
Avatar m tn The risk for acquisition of HIV from unprotected genital sex with an infected partner is less than 1 in 1000. With a condom that risk falls to about 1 in a million even if she was infected. If you were exposed because she is infected and the condom came off, with the Truvada your risk would be less than 1 in 100,000 and perhaps lower. You have a good plan- get your partner tested. I suspect at that time you will be able to stop taking the Truvada.
Avatar m tn Hi T1 Just google Truvada, you will find all the info you need.
Avatar f tn You started medication because of pregnancy ?
Avatar f tn who took a full STD sample blood and urine. Also, she gave me a script for Truvada. I had from my knowlege protected sex with her. What is my risk and should I take Truvada? My window is closing!
Avatar m tn These are not listed on the package insert, but I note from Dailymed.com Viread did cause fever in clinical trials (i.e., Truvada is a combo of Viread and Emtriva).
Avatar m tn everything seems normal I compared my current tests with old tests all in normal range as before except TLC and Platelet count. Does this show any infection ? or is it truvada effect ? TLC count : 8100 6 months before count was 4600 and normal range is 4000 to 11000 Platelete : 3.64 6 months before count was 2.1 and normal range is 1.5 to 4.5 Serum createnin is normal and SGOT/SGPT remained bit increased that because of Truvada.
Avatar f tn Will truvada and and a respiratory antibiotics have interqction/ side effects if simultaneously on both medicine? or which antibiotics and safe with truvada for respiratory infection?
