Avatar m tn I read that the fda approved dosage is 1.5 mcg per kg. Is that the ideal dosage or is it higher? I figure at my weight of 85 kg I was getting 1.76 mcg per kg. Now I am being dose reduced to a little over 1.05 mcg per kg (the guideline for adverse event neutropenia). There's really nothing I can do, just obsessing about the reduction. I am going to have two injections at that level before I see the doc again and hopefully go back to full dose. These will be week 8 and week 9 injections.
Avatar f tn You weigh 52 kg. 52 x 15/mg per kg is 780 mg riba per day.
Avatar m tn I asked the question because a former physician had me on a lower dose and am interested in knowing whether it is better to be on the lower dose or the dose I am on now. I was at approx. 86 Kg. on a dose of 300 mg twice per day and have been moved to 500 mg twice per day. I would point out that I am aware the studies conclude conflicting things on this issue, which may render the ultimate answer not within reach. I think you again for your answer.

1476285 tn?1287337784 Here is the link to an article about weight based Ribavirin dosage: http://hepatitiscnewdrugs.blogspot.com/2011/05/optimal-dose-of-ribavirin-for-chronic.html And here is a portion of that article: A relationship between RBV dose and response to therapy with both IFN alpha-2a and alpha-2b has been established in genotype 1 patients, who benefit from doses that exceed 800 mg/day (5, 14).
Avatar f tn Is this prescribed for him? The general dosing guideline is 1 to 5 mg per kg of weight. Hope your dog is better by now. How old is he/she?
Avatar f tn Sweetie, there is nothing that you can take that is "a night time formula" that would have that much Ibuprofen in a dose. You shouldn't exceed the recommended dosage and if you took something that said it was a night time formula then you probably took something with diphenydramine in it. What are the active ingredients on the bottle? What strength per dose? 2900mg of Ibuprofen plus anything for sleep in not good. You need to tell someone what you took before you go to sleep.
Avatar f tn 5 mcg pegylated interferon alfa-2b The interferon I have is called PegIntron and is delivered at strengths of either 50 mcg per 0.5 mL, 80 mcg per 0.5 mL, 120 mcg per 0.5 mL, or 150 mcg per 0.5 mL. (The 0.5 ml is the amount of sterile fluid included in the PegIntron Readipen.) Weighing below 60 kg, you would most likely have been prescribed 80 mcg PegIntron. So: 800 mg ribavirin daily and 80 mcg pegylated interferon alfa-2b weekly seems to be SOC (standard of care) for you.
Avatar m tn 5mg per kg for the first month, then 0.6667 mg per kg for the 2nd and 3rd month and then went onto 1mg per kg for the last 3 and a half months. I am extremely concerned about the possibility of having prematurely stunting my growth as a result of taking Accutane. I have read some literature and spontaneous reports on the internet that Isotretinoin can lead to 'premature epiphyseal fusion' of the long bones.
9648 tn?1290091207 If the standard weigh-based doses are 13-15 mg Riba per Kg and Peg at 1.5 mcg of Peg per Kg, you are only a hair less on both. I think it's part of the risk/reward aspect with trials. On one hand you are getting free meds and the 'new stuff' on the block and a lot of attention. On the other hand, there is less of a possibility for treatment 'stylizing' and things like rescue drugs might not be available.

Avatar n tn I am having trouble finding out what is a safe maximum dosage of Diamox for psuedotumor cerebri. When I had asked my daughters neurologist this question, she said there is no maximum dosage which I found hard to believe that there wouldn't be a max dose on any medication. My daughter is 15 yrs old and had been prescribed a total of 2500 mg per day divided into 3 doses. Does anyone know the max dose for diamox? Thanks!
Avatar f tn what is the maximum dose of Ibeprofen for a 17 year old? A: 600mg" I am 17. Saturday my head hurt like a migraine, I was a little nauseated and pretty drowsy, I didn't give it to much thought because it's been happening lately and I have bad allergies. Sunday I felt fine. Last night my back started hurting more so around the kidneys and I was pretty nauseated. Told my dad, he said to drink some water and rest. I drank 6 glasses of water and the pain stopped.
Avatar m tn Eggs and milkshakes (with skim milk) give you additional protein as the same as the protein shakes. The recommended dosage of protein is 1g per kg of weight. Body builders state that you need to build muscle that is why you need the protein. You will need a little extra but not double your weight. Too much consummation of protein and if the body does not use it, it will store it as fat. The side effects of too much protein are taxing to the kidneys.
Avatar n tn Ibuprofen is a bloodthinner. They say you arent supposed to take it...only tylenol. Because when you are pregnant the volume of blood in your body increases by 50%. If you were to have an accident, go into preterm labor, etc...you could bleed out and hemmorage. Causing lots of problems!
Avatar f tn The dose may be increased, beginning at 6 to 8 weeks and thereafter by steps at 4-week intervals, if there are no serious toxicities and if initial response is unsatisfactory. Dose increments should be 0.5 mg/kg daily, up to a maximum dose of 2.5 mg/kg per day. Therapeutic response occurs after several weeks of treatment, usually 6 to 8; an adequate trial should be a minimum of 12 weeks. Patients not improved after 12 weeks can be considered refractory.
