Avatar f tn I can tell you that there is currently nothing which is FDA approved for the treatment of Dry Age Related Macular Degneration (Dry AMD). There are lots of studies and trials in the works; seeking FDA approval. I don't know of any which are CE marked for Europe. The current recommendation is weekly amsler grid which can be downloaded free online.
Avatar n tn I am 22 yr old and i have hepatitis c genome 3 and i am taking pegasus\once weekly and ribavirin since 19-6-08 my question is have i to do weekly CBC or I can do every 2weeks before the injection ?
782258 tn?1237510986 My docs would not start me on it until my hgb dipped below 10 because FDA guidelines are not set up to use it as a rescue drug, more for folks with chronic blood diseases. Start injecting once a week until hgb goes back over 10. I think it took 4 shots to get me up to 11 1/2. Once it got up there I felt normally energetic for about 2 weeks, then it fell again. but stayed just barely above 10 so cannot use again.
690060 tn?1247841741 That's the new oral anticoagulant that's been making its way to FDA approval, which was finally given today. No INR monitoring, no food interactions. But cost might be $10/day rather than 10 cents. https://us2.ixquick.com/do/metasearch.pl?
167426 tn?1254086235 Phenoxodiol has received Fast Track status from the FDA to facilitate its development as a therapy for recurrent ovarian and prostate cancers. Phenoxodiol is an investigational drug and, as such, is not commercially available. Under U.S. law, a new drug cannot be marketed until it has been investigated in clinical trials and approved by FDA as being safe and effective for the intended use.
Avatar n tn My mother has low platelet count and has been taking weekly treatments of rituxin by iv for about 7 weeks now..her count went up after 2 treatments then dropped for 5..she has started the interferon combo treatment and has had 3 of those treatments for the hep c she hasn't been able to have a full dose of the interferon because of the platelet count.. she went for her bloodwork Sunday and her platelet count is down to 40,000 and wbc 2.0..Doctors have stopped all treatment..
Avatar m tn wow, thanks a million for that corrected spelling. So, I am treatment naive. This new drug looks very favorable for me. 12 wk w/riba gave 100%svr. I'm glad my doc is up to par with this new info. Of course, the FDA will need to approve this, then the VA will have to approve pymt to them for me. I'm just going to play the wait game..I'm non symptomatic as I mentioned before.
Avatar f tn When do I start my weekly appointments Im 31+5 already going every 2 weeks.
311905 tn?1212770800 Just an FYI. I'm a (pregnant) medical writer so I get all the FDA press releases that come out. This one came today advising against getting medically unnecessary ultrasounds or using the at-home fetal heart rate monitors: http://www.fda.gov/consumer/updates/keepsakevideo032408.html Mostly this is like a lot of advise for pregnant women -- since we don't know if it will do harm, don't do it.
Avatar f tn Fda, getting movin! I have already written to my senators congressional rep , people will decompensate and probably die while we are waiting for sofo/ledip/sime.
Avatar n tn The FDA and Synthroid's manufacturer were having a tug of war. Eight years ago. The FDA won. It had nothing to do with the safety of the drug. The FDA said "comply with our requests or pull your drug off the market". Totally irrelevant to the quality or safety of the drug, then or now. The formula wasn't changed.
473778 tn?1214094061 I was wondering if any of you ladies, have taken the progesterone shot (17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone caproate) after 20 weeks in pregnancy to prevent pre-term birth. My doctor wants me to take this shot, because I've had 2 premature babies, and I am already have complications with this baby. I'm almost 22 weeks now, and I have been trying to find some information on this shot, but I can't find anything for taking it after 20 weeks.
Avatar m tn Required by law? How do you arrive at that statement?
862235 tn?1336060295 Let me get this straight. Why would we not cut our number of injections in half if we could? For type 1 patients, especially, this is huge 24 shots done every 2 instead of 48 done every week! Why is this not the standard of treatment instead of the pegylated interferon?
469905 tn?1214169181 The medications that are FDA approved that target the HER2 receptor specifically are trastusumab (Herceptin) or lapatinib (TYKERB). If, when and for how long they might be used for would depend on the specific situation. The medical oncologist would be best able to answer your questions for an individual situation.
Avatar f tn There is an interferon out there (Albuferon, I think) that is currently in trial. It is taken bi-weekly, that might be her right stuff. I looked at that web site you referenced and, like others replied, it seem to be dated information.
167426 tn?1254086235 We are very pleased that NOV-002 continues to demonstrate activity in multiple tumor types, and we look forward to discussing with the FDA a design for a larger multi-center Phase II trial in ovarian cancer." My question is, how can those affected with OVCA push these trials through faster and make them available to more women?
Avatar f tn It would be a good idea for you to start tracking your ovulation, have a healthy diet and take prenatal vitamins, they are recommended by FDA as well.. Good Luck..
Avatar m tn If that is true - did your doctor try giving you weekly (or bi-weekly) procrit (epogen) to bring back up your hemo level? MANY of us in here have suffered from the hemolytic anemia that we can get from the ribavirin. I personally could not have handled treatment without it but WITH it I was able to do 72 weeks. If the doctor intends to treat you with the same exact course of treatment than most likely it would be a waste of time.
