famvir

Avatar n tn t think there is any contraindication in terms of taking it when on birth control. You could go to the website of the drug and look up FAQ's, or ask a pharmacist.
Avatar f tn if you are on daily suppressive therapy, use condoms and avoid sex anytime you have anything going on genitally, a male partner is 99% likely each year NOT to contract hsv2 from you. to give you something to compare it to, if you only used the pill for birth control, you are only 92% likely each year not to become pregnant.
Avatar f tn I stopped taking acyclovir in December 2011. I have had numerous outbreaks like once a month or every couple of months. I have had HSV2 four years and four months now. My last outbreak was maybe eight weeks ago. Shouldn't my outbreaks decrease since I have had the virus for some time.I would like to know is that too many outbreaks to be experiencing.
Avatar f tn one day i went to go check the pills she gave me because i was on birth control and wanted to know if it would affect it so i looked up the name acyclovir to find out it was for the herpes simplex virus....i freaked out and called and asked them why they gave me a pill for herpes if i didn't have that and the nurse on the phone told me that its for more than one thing and that its best not to google things cause it give me false indications.....
Avatar m tn the best thing to do is for her to go on daily suppressive therapy with valtrex or acyclovir to keep the hsv2 under control. that will help counteract the effects of the prednisone that she needs for treating the behcet's flare ups.
Avatar f tn ve asked myself often how this could be possible for me because I am not able to stop birth control pill. Every time I tried, my herpes got relly aggresive! Do you now if there is any chance to get the full text? The article would be enough but this sounds really unteresting to me!
Avatar f tn I got off birth control and starting using raspberry leaf extract ( or raspberry leaf tea) and I don't have breakouts even before my period anymore unless I am sick and immune system is really down. I believe the raspberry leaf extract is supposed to correct any out of balance hormones, estrogen, testosterone, etc., so that may help and it doesn't taste bad if you make a tea with it. I order from Mountainrose herbs online. Hope it helps..
Avatar f tn t think we have info on famvir dosing during pregnancy. We recommend the higher immunosuppression doses of valtrex and acyclovir during the last month of pregnancy. Your body is naturally immunosuppressed during pregnancy so it takes the higher doses to better control the virus. since you were infected with hsv2 prior to pregnancy, the odds of transmission to your baby during birth are less than 1% as long as you don't have any obvious symptoms during delivery.
Avatar f tn s and viral shedding, the once daily doses of acyclovir were not effective. the half life of acyclovir is very short and just taking it daily is not enough to keep the virus under control adequately.
Avatar m tn I have had oral herpes for years, assuming all this time it is HSV1. I control it with well with acyclovir.
Avatar f tn My bf and I have been dating for almost two months and I am on birth control. We are in a committed relationship and I want to know I ama safe. Should I be confident that I am indeed hiv negative? 6 weeks= neg 9 weeks= neg 12 weeks= neg 14 weeks= neg Thank you for your response.
Avatar m tn But, recently they have been more and more frequent. I used the 200mg acyclovir at times when I felt I was getting an OB and it worked very well. Although, there have been times, once or twice, when it did not work and I experienced the worst OB's I've ever had. I have a pretty bad one now (ran out of meds) and I went to the Dr. yesterday and he said with the more frequent OB's he was going to prescribe me 400mg acyclovir to take twice daily for suppression.

Avatar f tn Hi i have been on birth control almost 6 months now. And i bleed for 2 weeks every period. The first week its just a brown mild red spotting because im still on birth control and then the second week when im on the brown pill is when i actually get the full on effect of my period. Today i got my period again and im still not done with my normal birth control so i decided to skip to the brown pills this week and start a new pack once my brown pills are done.
Avatar f tn Can I get birth control without having an exam? I want birth control to regulate my period. I have never been sexually active but my period can go for 5-9 days not heavy or light flowing. It also has a range of 21-30 days in between periods. I do NOT like to be touched and have never had a successful relationship because of it.
1801864 tn?1318097993 I know that birth control can make you feel pregnant. But do you guys think I should get a pregnancy test? Me and my boyfriend have been having sex almost everyday and his been cumming inside me. and I was taking my birth control on time for a while but my life is getting stressed and I've been taking my birth control when ever I remember I have to take it. My tummy has cramp like feelings and my nipples are tender BUT I know that birth control can make that happen. SO what should I do.
Avatar f tn They asked me if I wanted birth control and I asked if it would interfere with breast feeding. He said I could get an iud which I don't want. Or get on a pill that's just progesterone. My question is..is anyone else on the pill and having or not having a problem with breast feeding?
Avatar f tn Im just curious ... if i was on birth control for about 2 - 2 1/2 years , but now im tryin to get pregnant ... if i was on birth control for a while will it take me time to get pregnant?
7670156 tn?1401987192 re all pregnant and all, but yesterday at my check up my doctor said I should start thinking about what kind of birth control I want after my baby girl is here. I've never been on birth control (and still did very well, baby was planned) what do you ladies suggest worked best for you? I don't want to worry about another baby for a long while at least a few years. And that implant that goes in your arm scares me.
Avatar f tn Hey what kind of birth control are you considering after birth??? Has anyone ever been on the depo shot? How did your body react? My friend has done the depo shot two different times and each time she has gained alot of weight with it, anyone else experience weight gain? I would like to do the depo shot bc I know I cant remember to always take the pill but I already have a hard time losing weight any advice???

7019649 tn?1396792517 I was on the patch, ortho evra, it worked good I guess, I didn't end up pregnant again until I quit using it, I believe I gained weight on it though, its one of the side effects but I seem to be prone to gaining weight every time I'm on birth control.
