Avatar m tn According to the Food and Drug Administration, nasal spray formulations of Desmopressin (Noctiva, others) are no longer recommended for treatment of bed-wetting due to the risk of serious side effects. Again, however, I can't stress enough that your friend should be checked by the GP, as an adult , this can signal other issues that need fairly prompt attention.
Avatar n tn You need to go see an Endocrinologis soon could be Diabetes-Insuppidus. Controlled with a nasal spray called Desmopressin.
Avatar m tn Seventy-five CHB patients completed the therapeutic schedule of immunization with 100 microgram of both HBsAg and HBcAg (HBsAg/HBcAg) (Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, Havana, Cuba), once in every two weeks (5 vaccinations through only nasal route and followed by 5 additional vaccinations via both nasal and subcutaneous route). Seventy-six patients with CHB completed the treatment with Peg IFN (180 microgram, once weekly, subcutaneously for 48 consecutive weeks).
Avatar m tn And theoretically you should be snorting the blood to be a potential risk. Remember If nasal passages were a route of transmission. Then that would mean that hiv is airborn like the conmon cold. Then we will all have HIV by now. Suck it up and know the real risk. Dont let your OCD control you.
3726455 tn?1347977394 After reading from many different websites, I realized some sites mentioned it is possible for HIV to pass through the mucous membrane via the nose. ): and then i had gone through this forum for the pass few hours, and came to know that some of the people and doctors here commented that the nose mucous membrane must be damaged, and hiv cannot pass intact nasal mucous membrane? I am so lost and paranoid, i dont know which is true or not.
Avatar f tn t mention in your question what medication you were taking. Commonly central DI is treated with desmopressin. Desmopressin works by limiting the amount of water passed in the urine. I don't know why you would suddenly notice a decrease in your symptoms after 34 years. I would recommend making an appointment with your regular doctor to see what might be causing this. Until you can be seen, it is important that you remain aware of your fluid intake and output.
Avatar n tn talk to your doctor about desmopressin, it works.
Avatar m tn Hepatitis A is transmitted via the fecal-oral route and person to person contact. So I would certainly not share a cigarette with a Hepatitis A infected person. As for Hepatitis B, the virus has been detected in saliva but whether in sufficient quantity to infect is unknown. As a general principle of good hygiene, I would not share personal items with anyone, let alone a cigarette, a harmful weed.
Avatar m tn Welcome to the Forum. I cannot help but wonder why, after more of a decade of marriage and (?) monogamy, you are worrying about HIV when there is no that you or your wife is infected. Guilt perhaps. You need to be able to move on and I hope that my comments will help you to do this. It sounds to me as though you have been reading about HPV on the internet- if so, bad idea.
Avatar n tn today the consultant gave me tablets called desmopressin acetate. i understand they reduce urine amounts. will try but cant see them working well. Any new ideas or anyone with same prob please help.
Avatar m tn Nasal swabs to test for the presence of hepatitis C and blood in the nasal passage Each subject was asked to inhale air through plastic straws, which were then tested for hepatitis C and blood An examination of the nasal cavity to check for disease. In these tests, hepatitis C RNA was detected using the same sort of technology as a viral load test. A third of the sample was coinfected with HIV, and 45% with hepatitis B.
Avatar n tn Hi, I realise that there is no risk for HIV from Oral Sex. Especially performed by a man (me) on a woman. I've also read Nurse Girls detailed post on HIV that I found to be very informative and very useful (thankyou). In many of the posts I've seen, it says that whilst there is no HIV risk from Oral Sex that we should be more concerned about other diseases which are more easily transmitted via Oral Sex than HIV. Could someone please tell me what those diseases are ?
850029 tn?1238857820 Does anyone have any good home remedies for post nasal drip? I'm dying here:( I've had it for two days and its driving me nuts. Typically is that a symptom of a sinus infection?
Avatar f tn My vet has prescribed Huey's formula and Cerenia nasal drops for my 14y/o cat, 6lbs, who we think has a polyp in her nasal passage. She also had drainage and sneezing. Is that the right route to go for her? She has been on both the 2 x a day for 3 weeks. Still has mild drainage. The vet also rx her vf thymex we started a week ago and 4 days later I've noticed her aggressively pulling her hair out . And today almost a week later she has a bald spot on her stomach now.

Avatar n tn The reasons steroids are given locally (i.e. via the nasal route and/or topically) is to avoid absorption. I would add that the statistical likelihood of your being infected is quite low. It is unlikely that your CSW partner had HIV and even if she did, the likelihood of getting HIV from a single episode of unprotected vaginal intercourse is less than 1 in 1000. In answer to your specific questions 1. No see below. 2. You do not have HIV. 3. You do not need to test again.
Avatar m tn The cath sprayed and my nurse aid and I got urine in our eyes and faces (lips). I know exposure via this route are low but there is no telling if trace amounts of blood was in the urine (always possible). I can't seem to find a lot of information regarding statistics and likelihood of contracting hep c via this route. Most info deals more with needle sticks. Any info would be helpful. The hospital has given us no info whatsoever.
Avatar m tn Is there a medication for Diabetes Insipidus other than Desmopressin? The headaches as a side affect are dibilitating. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/557217'>peuatrygland diabetts</a>.
Avatar n tn I honestly have zero experience with nasal spray. However I know someone who was addicted to it. She went cold turkey off of it and said it was mostly mental. BUT afterwards her doctor said that it was very dangerous for her to do that and he was quite upset with her for not coming to him. Are you getting it via doctor's care? You should really discuss with the doctor or any doctor before quitting cold turkey.. Just to be safe and to make sure its ok to just stop using it.
Avatar m tn The nasal cavity is not a route of HIV transmission.
Avatar m tn I would get a CT scan done to see if any bone structure or blockage is causing the issue but also nasal lining can get inflammed so it may not be an actual structure blocking it. I get like this from time to time.
Avatar m tn I am 4 months Post op ( with post op problems of cortisol levels rising again ) I had most of my pituitary gland removed I am still not back at work I also have DI but its pretty well controlled now on 200mcg desmopressin in the morning and 400mcg at night. I tried the nasal sprays but they didnt work for me, so my endo has left me on the tablets which work really well. Its not expected that my DI will resolve and ill be on Desmo for life.
