forteo length of treatment

Hi I too have a very sensitive stomach. Alot of nausea. Just was informed that I have osteoporosis. My doctor wants me to use Forteo, an injection that you use for two years.

(sub-q ) This is following a non union of the fibula from a surgery February 21st. I am using Forteo and a magnetic bone growth stimulator.

I have been on Forteo daily injections for 1 year and I have experienced considerable joint pains which did not exist prior to treatment. My left hip and knee, my right knee and my hands have been getting worse each month. Has anyone else experienced similar reactions?

I took daily injections of Forteo 21 months..developed Para thyroid disorder..requiring surgery..is there a class action suit going on?

I was diagnosed with MS in 1985 and it is now the Secondary Progressive type, (Slowly progressive) I have a history of medication intolerance. Medications are ether slow to metabolize or be eliminated. Whatever the cause, I develop toxic, life-threatening symptoms on very small doses. I have severe osteoporosis and am trying to take Forteo. I started out with half dose and have worked up to a full dose. The full dose 2 days in a row was disabling. My doctor suggested every other day.

) You might also want to contact the National Osteoporosis Foundation for more information about that diagnosis, and possible sources of assistance for treatment of it. Best wishes...

There are very good antipsycotics to help ease the symptoms you have described. I have read a few posts where people have experienced your type of problems as well. Treatment for hepc is very very difficult for some and no two people are effected exactly the same. I hope in time you find a solution that benefits you long term.

Triple medication treatment of Interferon, Ribavirin, and a Protease Inhibitor (either Teleprvir or Boceprevir) are now the standard of care for treatment of Genotype 1. The length of treatment depends on your past response to treatment. I am not sure in which country you live and if the new protease inhibitors are available where you live. If they are available then it would be important to discuss treating with the triple medication regimen with your doctor.

With Incivek, treatment duration for naives and relapsers with an *RVR* or undetected at week 4 and 12 is 24 weeks. All others including cirrhotics, null and partial responders are advised to treat 48 weeks With Victrelis, treatment duration for naives who are undetected at week 8 and 24 treat is 28 weeks. Previous partial responders or relapsers undetected at week 8 and 24 treat for 36 weeks.

He also wanted me to try the injections of Forteo but my Aunt had bone cancer in her hips so I am somewhat leary of that drug. Any info will be greatly appreciated as I am in really bad pain.

I went directly to Lilly, and qualified for pro bono meds for 2 years, the limit of tx on Forteo. My understanding is patients with cirrhosis get priority. Other Gilead experienced persons, and there are a few here, can tell you more. Depending upon your income, and your stage of cirrhosis, you may be able to get your meds totally pro bono, side stepping Part D completely.

Teriparatide (Forteo) is also approved for the treatment of postmenopausal women who have severe osteoporosis and are considered at high risk for fractures. The medicine is given through daily shots underneath the skin and you can give these shots even at home. Another advantage is that it can be given in patients who cannot tolerate oral biphosphonate drugs.

As far as treatment duration with Incivek in the Illuminate trial a (study included 540 HCV genotype. 1 treatment-naïve patients) the aim of the study was to find out if there was added benefit in extending the total treatment duration from 24 weeks to 48 weeks. Based on the data there was no benefit seen in extending the treatment duration from 24 to 48 weeks. The stats are easy enough to follow in this link: http://tinyurl.com/clah489 It is read only.

How long is your LP (luteal phase)? If it's below 12 days then shorter cycles may be a problem. Also, I heard someone mention on this forum that if you O too early you may be releasing the egg that's not yet mature. So, it's not the length of your cycle that's important but rather the timing of ovulation. If you O in the middle you are OK and your LP should be around 12 days. Otherwise, your LP may be too short or you O too early. I hope this helps....

When you read the part (further down) on length of treatment, you will see the results of the studies. In the one study that included Cirrhotics, there was no statistically significant difference in SVR for Cirrhotics versus Non-cirrhotics. "There was no difference in SVR12 in those with cirrhosis (97%) versus those without cirrhosis (98%)" The study included 16% with Cirrhosis (which would be 138 people with Cirrhosis).

I would assume from the date of treatment. Does apple cider vinegar really work? Have yet to try it. I just have very small ones that can only be seen under light. Aldara doesn't do anything to them. I've been taking papillex which is a herbal supplement that helps boost your immune system to specifically fight off hpv. Your suppose to use at least 3 months to see results. I'm still on month one. I really just cannot wait until this awful disease goes away.

I did not have this problem in previous years. This has just started after about 1 year of being on Forteo and Chlorthalid. To me it almost seemed like the Forteo (perhaps it's base) increased my allergies and now combined with stress my stomach is super sensitive. If you have insight and thoughts on this I would love to hear. Thank you.

Are you seeing a hepatologist? Some people here have had GIs treat them who really haven't been as on top of it as a good liver doctor. Perhaps your doctor wants you to do the longer treatment because of your cirrhosis. Treatment can't be done in later stages of cirrhosis. Then you are looking at a liver transplant. In response to how damaging these meds can be you can look at the long list of possible side effects and easily get scared.

Riba boosts the success rate of treatment, but that does not mean it extends the half life of Interferon. As noted in my pot above above, there is nothing in the 3 articles I linked to that says anything about Riba increasing the half life of Interferon.

There is no 10 week treatment. Length of treatment comes from your genotype and your early or late response to the treatment. Most genotype 1's must treat a minimum of 48 weeks and geno 2 & 3 treats for 26 weeks.

ION-1 investigated length of treatment (12 weeks vs 24 weeks) and the need for RBV. Sustained virologic response at 12 weeks (SVR12) was 97% to 99% across all arms, with no difference in SVR based on length of treatment, use of RBV, or HCV genotype 1 subtype. Sixteen percent of subjects enrolled were classified as having cirrhosis. There was no difference in SVR12 in those with cirrhosis (97%) versus those without cirrhosis (98%).
