Avatar f tn We were at our local Childrens hospital last night to have a very large one drained. She was on Zyvox during Thanksgiving and we were free of abscesses for 3 weeks. That is the longest she has gone without having one. We have seen an Infectious Disease doctor that doesn't offer us much hope in getting these to go away.
Avatar f tn his symptoms returned immediately when the antibiotics were finished. This resulted in 2 debridement surgeries where all the hardware was removed. He was on 6 weeks of IV Vanco and Rifampin which seem to end the infection. 6 weeks ago the went back in to redo the spinal fusion as his scoliosis was still severe and he had become very kyphotic well into his lumbar spine.
Avatar n tn s and one surgery for a port ( my veins were shot) as well as a round of Zyvox pills ($82.00 a pill or $1600.00), I still tested positive. As luck and God would have it, I had been taking amoxicillian before all this happened so I thought "why not finish it, nothing else has worked". I knew when I took the amox, I had started to feel better. I talked my local PA into putting me on 8 weeks of it and low and behold, I have tested negative 2x.
Avatar f tn I picked up VRE while in the hospital which was treated with 14 days of IV Zyvox. The VRE came back, in my urine, and I was hospitalized again last week and put back on Zyvox (oral this time). I am also on IV clindamycin and azithromycin, and a long list of other medications. While in the hospital they did daily blood work, of course, and my results have gotten progressively worse. They told me to follow up with my pcp, but my pcp is pretty much useless.
Avatar n tn the cultures and urine showed Staphylococcus epidermidis which was treated with success with vanc and zyvox. i know S. epi. is a common skin flora but i am confused as to how i was infected. Any insight?
996769 tn?1249681013 here's an example of a label that says do not use if you have --- thyroid disease Caution: Do not use BreastSuccess if you are pregnant, nursing, or have any of the following conditions: high blood pressure, heart disease, thyroid disease, glaucoma, diabetes, difficulty urinating due to prostate enlargement, or if you are now taking a prescription monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) (certain drugs for depression, psychiatric or emotional conditions, or Parkinson's disease), or for two (2
Avatar f tn The swellings continued and my eyes were also swollen. He told me that i was allergic to the Bactrim and prescibed some Zyvox. Im currently taking it and maintaining a tyramine free diet and see the results.
Avatar f tn t any infection going. Matter of fact, they were getting a pre-authorization ready to go for Zyvox.... Amazing, no infection, but I was going to get a antibotic? Just don't understand. Anyways, long story short, the second ortho suggested that I did not pick the Zyvox up - didn't need it. I go back to see the second ortho surgeon on Tuesday and will request a nasal mucous culture just for gp's. So, I guess the nasal swab is the tell tell if you are a MRSA carrier correct?
Avatar n tn My husband and son have not exhibited any skin conditions-just me. I have taken your advice and went to an infectious disease specialist. He has taken some cultures and has already put me on a new antibiotic called Zyvox. If the antibiotics doesn't clear the condition-I have considered looking for a new home for the dog. Thanks for your advice. I will see what the cultures suggest. Thanks!
100019 tn?1335919717 For genotype 1 patients who cannot take interferon, the panel recommends sofosbuvir plus the HCV protease inhibitor simeprevir (Olysio), with or without ribavirin, again for 12 weeks. This off-label regimen has not been through full Phase 3 testing, but performed very well in the Phase 2 COSMOS trial.
Avatar n tn Did your doctor prescribe it to you for this? If not, STOP right now...'experimenting' with prescription medications, which are extremely addictive can NEVER have good outcomes.
Avatar f tn They all have reported feeling better daily - this off label approach is a God Send! Now I will finish out the 12 weeks - they will do the viral load test again at that time and then 12 weeks post treatment test again to declare me officially SVR!!! NO HORRIBLE INTERFERON OR RIBAVARIN THIS TIME FOR ME!!
1635208 tn?1300807160 Hi welcome to the Hepatitis C community Olysio per the prescribing information sheet is intended to be used with interferon and Ribavirin. The same applies to Sovaldi. Per prescription they are not used together. However there have been clinical trials using them together "off label" and they have been shown to be highly effective when used together. You can web search for Cosmos clinical trial cohort 1 and cohort 2 to see study results.
Avatar n tn Good afternoon and thank you to anyone/everyone whoever takes the time to read and respond to posts like this. It's so appreciated and provides much comfort to those of us who are really struggling without a place to turn. Sadly, I've been suffering for 7, coming up to 8 months. Back in December of last year, I ended up holding my bladder far, far longer than I should've.
Avatar m tn also it is highly contagious. so avoid open physical contact with others unless u get treated .
Avatar m tn Now I have been here another 6 days (total of 12 days sick) and have been on about 3 different IV antibiotics from Zyvox, Zosyn, to Levaquin and am on breathing treatments. Now both x-rays and CT scans are showing it has spread to both of my lungs and has gotten much worse. I also now have a horrible cough. My white blood cell count has remained normal and are not elevated, which indicates my immune system is not responding and Dr's can't explain why.
Avatar m tn My guess is that they are having label issues. They might get an approval with a limited label, followed by a label modification in the near future. Just a guess though.
454863 tn?1208306979 I mean, like years ago, I thought I was Bipolar, or schizo, or compulsive, or bisexual, or any of these tasty sounding words, but I just dont believe in labels anymore. I mean why should we always have to label ourselves like this. Like people who are genius's like Bill Gates. Do they go around saying "IM A GENIUS, IM A GENIUS" No. Its just, I dont get it. Maybe someone can answer me. (Geez I think I might have hit a soft spot on this one) sorry if i do.
Avatar f tn After reviewing the medications I was already taking (to avoid any conflicts) she recommended Lamotrigine for my intense anxiety. I am VERY familiar with off-label drug uses, but I can find no information re: the use of this drug for my situation. It is a drug used for bi-polar disorder and seizures. I thought that Atavan would be the drug of choice, and after reading more about Lamotrigine, I have become actually quite shocked about this recommendation.
Avatar f tn Has anyone been approved for Olysio and Sovaldi off label and on Medicare? I failed traditional interferon/ribavirin, have fibrosis stage 2, and waiting for approval.
Avatar n tn Wikipedia is a good starting point, as it usually is linked to the other label sites. Look for lines within the label info that refer to liver or hepatic. If there is any knowledge that a drug can harm the liver it will be on the label. You can easily come across a line on some drug labels that warns about treating patients with "hepatic impairment" (means liver damage).
Avatar f tn noo all though i did once and boy my bd almost chopped off my head i was sitting there wondering why he got mad he then showed my the label that pregnant ladys arent allowed to take it goshh the rest of the night i just felt bad about no reading the label now im a label reader to everything i drink and eat
