I am not physically restricted - I walk 1 mile or more day and do 10 minutes of other light exercises most days. My BP runs under 120/80 most of the time. I understand carvedilol helps prevent stiffening of the heart muscle and can help restore LV function to some degree. How specially, so it do this? What is the biochemical mechanism?
t able to recall what the doctor told me, whether to change the schedule of taking Truvada (instead of morning, I should take it at night) or stick to my schedule of 7am (even though I was able to take another one last night, making it only 12 hrs apart instead of 24). So I just took again one Truvada this morning. Would there be an adverse effect on my body because of taking 3 tablets of Truvada with only 12 hrs interval? Please advise on what to do. Thanks.
The mechanism of action of Campral® (acamprosate calcium) Delayed-Release Tablets in maintenance of alcohol abstinence is not completely understood. Originally, several neurotransmitter systems, including GABA, were investigated for a possible role in Campral's mechanism of action. However, recent evidence suggests Campral's main interaction is with the glutamate system. Chronic alcohol exposure is hypothesized to alter the normal balance between neuronal excitation and inhibition.

m currently taking Kaletra and Combivir.
I'm not ashamed - rather funny. I can offer
conduct a new experiment - measuring the level of HBsAg in response to the mercy of "lice with honey," and all of a sudden?
But if without laughing, I propose to reflect at leisure, there is some anti-HIV drugs, protease inhibitors, a similar effect on HBV, because they act at an earlier stage of virus replication than tenofovir and the like.
Since the chances a quite low Can I stop taking pep or can I stop kaletra and remain with truvada take it upto 28days.coz kaletra gives me diarrhea.
So 33hours after possible HIV exposure, I ingested my first dose of PEP pills (Truvada and Kaletra). I took the pills consistently for 28 days (one blue truvada pill every 24 hours and two yellow Kaletra pills every 12 hours). The regimen ended August 22nd 2012.
Today is one week later. im going insane. i do not want HIV. I will take a duo test on September 19th 2012 (28 days after PEP and 57 days after possible HIV exposure with woman of unknown status.
My sister-in-law is just above 10 years old. She takes Viread and Kaletra every day. My mother-in-law takes Videx EC and Ziagen. My mother-in-law is currently in Africa, and I've searched on the pills my sister-in-law is taking, and I found out that it was HIV treatment :'( I couldn't hold my tears, because I love her so much, and she is so young. I want to know what it means. Please tell me.
Plavix has a unique mechanism of action by blocking the amplification of platelet activation by released ADP, and often used with aspirin to prevent the risk of clots for the first year after DES implant. Plavix and aspirin have different mechanism of action to prevent clots. After a year, plavix is usually discontinue as the risk for clots is decreased, and aspirin is continued long term. The risk of a clot is about 3%.
I am worried about the side effects of the medicaments I am taking Kaletra (4 each day) + Truvada (1 each day). Im having nauseas and diarrhea and had pale stool despite i was completely healthy before this.
Do you think I should take just the Truvada? Could the cut or the total stop of treatment lead to resistance if I finally have HIV?

Hello everyone, well I am in a similar situation as a lot of users here and would like to gain a little advise if possible. I'll try and keep it brief:
December 24th - Engaged in unprotected receptive anal sex.
How very stupid and the worst thing is I don't remember a mass amount of it however, went to the clinic and was told I could take PEP, which seemed a little drastic but she stated it was a high-risk situation so I of course obliged.
I had an episode of unprotected oral and protected vaginal sex with a Sex worker , originally from ukraine. During the short period of vaginal sex, the had come off once i removed my penis- the length of unprotected exposure was only short( < 3 mins). I am unaware of HIV status of Worker. I rinsed my penis and swabbed with alcohol after. I also commenced Truvada that evening ( approx 4 hrs post exposure) . Is this adequate . I have now been on it for a week .
hi, as a gay, i am aware of the high risk of hiv infection. so i never dare to have anal sex with anyone
3days ago, i dated a guy （now it's sure that he is positive）, before meeting him, we agreed on no anal sex or oral sex.
after meeting him ,first he uses a plastic fake pennis to insert into my anus for 60seconds
after that he inserted his finger into my anus overally for 30 seconds.
I started this medicine on Wednesday night. I however misread the label and then took only 1 Kaletra instead of the 2. In the morning of Thursday I took 1 Kaletra. In the evening of Thursday I realized I misread the label and took 2 Kaletra though I forgot to take the Truvada because I was used to taking the other medicine in the morning (I’ve also not been thinking straight and been very stressed, I made a mistake).
HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child
You never had an exposure.
Potassium is a chemical element and it is part of the electrolyte that should be in balance with other lytes to adequately conduct an electrical impulse that originates with the sinus node in the right atrium. The mechanism of action is not completely understood, but what is when a voltage (unit of potential for conduction) and electrolyte there will conduction and passage of electrical impluses.

Ribavirin improves early responses to peginterferon through improved interferon signaling.
Gastroenterology. 2010 Jul;139
The therapeutic mechanisms of ribavirin for hepatitis C are unclear. Microarray analyses have shown that ribavirin increases induction of interferon-stimulated genes. We evaluated viral kinetics, serum cytokine expression, and viral mutagenesis during early stages of peginterferon therapy with and without ribavirin.
com however (havent read this anywhere else), taking Kaletra with food showed a 20% reduction of blood levels of the medication. Though they can be taken with or without food, I opted to take my morning dose with food, and my evening dose on an empty stomach. I wanted as much of the med in me as possible. I may contact Drugs.com to ask them why they are the only site on the web with this data. It may be wrong, but side effects markedly decrease with food.
Hi everyone,
Last weekend (Saturday night - Sunday morning) I stupidly allowed myself to have unprotected aggressive-anal and passive/aggressive-oral sex. About an hour after I found out that the person has sex with people that have HIV. The person tried to assure me that they were clean, had an HIV test last March that came back negative, and that I was the first person they had sex with since November (as if March 2011 to November conveniently doesn't matter).
