epivir gsk

It is 72 hours post-exposure for me right now and I took the triple therapy that I have-- Epivir, Viread, and AZT. I took a dose of Epivir and Viread at 42 hours and then decided I was being paranoid he didn't use a condom [since I only have his word] but read your post and got nervous, so I took a dose of Epivir and Viread late by 6 hours. I started the AZT for the first time at about 72 hours.

Epivir=Lamivudine, said to be very safe for husband and wife who wish to have children. But do you have to choose Lamivudine as first-line treatment with its high resistance profile?

http://news.yahoo.com/pharma-giant-gsk-pay-3b-largest-ever-healthcare-150453684--abc-news-topstories.html Healthcare giant GlaxoSmithKline has agreed to an unprecedented $3 billion settlement with the U.S. government over allegations that the company advertised drugs for uses not approved by the Food and Drug Administration and then used lavish gifts to convince doctors to prescribe the drugs. The multi-billion dollar settlement is the largest in U.S.

Hi everyone, I went to see my Dr today and he recommanded to change my medicine to Viread (I am on Epivir more than 2 years). I am wondering if it's necessary to change it now since Epivir works well with me (my DNA is 200 copies). But he was worried about resistance and mutation. Do I have to listen to him? I got Viread today but I am not sure I would start taking it from today. -Natalie p.s.: Do you guys drink coffee? I started drinking coffee about 4 months ago...

please do let me know its urgent.i even enquired the gsk mumbai branch but they told me to contact gsk US Branch but still no answer.so please tell me the name of this medicine.aishwarya from Mumbai.my doctor doesnt remember the name of this medicine.

I was diagnosed Hep B 13 years ago, and have taken Epivir since 2002. I do blood test and ultra-sound every 6 months and Hep B is controlled pretty well. As you know, Epivir cause virus mutant resistance, and chance is higher for me since I have been on it for 5 years. My doctor gave me 2 choices, 1) "don't fix it until it breaks" - continue with Epivir, move to combo treatment when mutant and resistance evidence shows up. 2) "precautious way" - take baraclude.

Just wondering, I had a liver transplant three years ago. They said the donor had a HBV antibody but they did not detect HBV. I decided to go ahead and go through with the the transplant. The doctors said 1 to 2% chance of HBV appearing. I had been vaccinated (the three shots) about 15 years earlier and so I have HBV antibodies. After the transplant my doctors said I should go ahead and take Epivir just in case they'd missed something.

1 Does this mean I do not respond to Tyzeka? 2. Should I change to Ziread since it is approved. 3. I have experienced elbow pain, left arm, with Tzyeka. 4. Does changing drugs instead of stopping altogether cause flare up? Previouusely I took EPIVIR for 7 years and Hepsera for one year. Thank you.

Two trial using GSK drugs? Which hepatits C drugs does GSK make? I don't recall reading that they play in hcv. I guess I've missed something.

t remember, should I take the AZT with my Viread and Epivir for a more potent PEP regimen? Or is Viread and Epivir alone okay? I have no side effects from them. Given that this is a gay sex club in NYC, an epicenter of the epidemic? Is it possible to forget having anal sex as a top? I am not a frequent visitor to sex clubs. I do have a phobia of "forgetting" anal sex when I'm drunk- though I've never forgotten it ever before.

I treated with hep b 14 years ago for 1.5 years with epivir and got hbv e antibodies and afterwards, I stop epivir and every 6 months I check my liver function and alt and ast are persistently normal. I started to check hbv dna 6 months ago as new guidelines come out. Hbv dna at six month was 5000 iu/ml and last week I checked it was 8000 iu/ml. Again both times my alt and ast are normal. As a matter of fact they are in low side of normal.

I was wondering given the following conditions - 1) HBV is UND (<357/IU) 2) On Epivir for the last several years because after some surgery the doctors thought it was possible I had been exposed to HBV or got some tainted blood 3) previously had the HBV vaccine 15 years ago. 4) No signs of HBV.

t want to chance a viral mutation by taking Epivir. But if the plan is to take it for a month or two, even Epivir may be okay.

I was given Epivir, Viread and Zidovudine.

Does anyone know where to get entecavir, epivir or hepsera for a more reasonable price? We live in US. Middle class family without government subsidise. Our insurance do not cover medicine. entecaver us$900.mo epivir $300.mo hepsera $750 mo.

However, I was prescribed Combivir and Epivir (only-not a third drug) for 28 days and during this time I had a cold with a sore throat and headache for almost the whole period up to a few days ago. It is now almost 7 weeks since I had the sexual encounter in Bangkok. After 30 days I had an HIV test and the result was negative. I am now going to have a test at 8 weeks. I am worried to death and I wonder if the PEP I was prescribed has been wrong or not sufficient.

Like Imitrex, it is made to be taken at the onset of a migraine, but is supposed to work faster and better to reduce migraine pain. GSK has spent several years and millions of dollars researching and "pre-marketing" Treximet in anticipation of FDA approval and product launch. So what's the deal? Is this really better than Imitrex alone? From a strict treatment point of view, yes, the medication probably is better than Imitrex alone for a migraine. The reason for this is twofold.

I have been taking EPIVIR HB 100mg because I have been diagnostic with Hepatitis B. Recently I had blood test for Hepatitis Be Antigen and Hepatitis Be Antibody. My results indicate the following Hepatitis Be Antigen nonreactive and Hepatitis Be Antibody reactive. What can I make of these results?

I was originally diagnosed in 2005 and once the initial outbreak was cleared up I took suppressive medication for the first couple years on the GSK patient assist program. I am no longer on a suppressive med although I just found out that Planned Parenthood will prescribe acyclovir for episodic or suppressive. Over the last 2-3 months I have had multiple outbreaks.

Avandia, made by pharmaceutical company Glaxo Smith Kline (GSK), was approved by the EMA in 2000 to help lower blood sugar levels in patients with Type 2 diabetes. GSK has maintained that its extensive research involving over 50,000 patients has shown that Avandia does not increase the overall risk of heart attack, stroke or death compared to other diabetes drugs.

There is a new Hepatitis B forum. I would ask this question over there. http://www.medhelp.org/forums/show/223 stevenNYer over there may be able to help.

Also if you contact your GSK valtrex rep, they can give you some terrific packets for the medical providers in your clinic as well as wonderful packets to hand out to patients who are newly diagnosed too.
