isentress

Avatar m tn I see a new HIV drug is on the market that may stop replication of hsv. How would people obtain this for hsv treatment? It is already fda approved.
Avatar m tn I saw that on both, Isentress and Truvada, but nothing about the consent the fat atrophy. It is in a year, 10 years, 1 month, 1 days ????????
Avatar m tn Sorry, let me clarify, there was another exposure prior, about 3 months before, the one with warranted PEP that worried me, I found out in this process more about the girl which turnd out to be an escort. Could I trust a negative hiv test after 2 truvadas and 3 isentress?
Avatar m tn Hello I am a 32 year old male and i had anal receptive sex (i was the bottom). The condom ended up breaking! He noticed it, pulled out and put a new one on. He did not ejaculate in me, not sure if there was precum, and not sure how long it had been broken, the exposure was between 5-10mins. Now I'm freaking out that i have HIV. The guy said hes HIV negative and was tested 2 weeks ago but im still freaking out. I went to an urgent care and they prescribed me truveda for 30 days.
Avatar f tn i am on PEP ( truvada and isentress) already 2 weeks... yesterday got cut by a rusted door. is tetanus injection safe to take with Pep.. or is there drug interactions? please assist as important to take tetanus injection today..
Avatar n tn I had a sexual encounter and they have put me on truvada and isentress for 4 weeks. It is one week over but I have very bad stomach. I usually have a chronic gastritis due to helyco bacter that I have not managed so far to get rid of. My doctor said I could take Nexium 20 which is my usual medication for this matter but to try no to take it everyday beacaus of interaction with isentress but he is gone on vacation now and I have a really upset stomach and I dont know what to do.
29837 tn?1414534648 Seems to be on another SCH drug called Narlaprevir, not Boceprevir, in conjuction with an HIV drug which makes it a 4-drug cocktail. I am glad they are pushing on with other PIs and not just staying with the BOC. For everyone's information -- Schering Plough has already merged with Merck -- Nov 5 or 6, I believe. I have concerns that the SCH research will be lost in the shuffle. Seems like Merck has a lot of other bigger things going on. I hope I am wrong about that.
Avatar m tn Thu Apr 10, 2014 1:17am EDT (Reuters) - A two-drug combination being tested by Merck & Co to treat hepatitis C cured 98 percent of previously untreated patients without cirrhosis in a midstage clinical trial, providing the latest evidence that the U.S. drugmaker will be highly competitive in the fast evolving field. Results of the study called C-Worthy were presented on Thursday at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) in London.
29837 tn?1414534648 Merck has started to start applying; "We are excited by the results of these pivotal studies," said Dr. Peter S. Kim, Ph.D., president, Merck Research Laboratories. "In these studies, boceprevir substantially increased success rates compared to standard therapy, both for patients who received 48 weeks of treatment and for patients treated with the response-guided therapy approach, many of whom were able to be treated for 28 to 36 weeks," he added.
Avatar m tn Hello - I understand that oral with a person who is HIV+ is low risk, but would it be a good idea to take PEP anyway? My concern is the side effects of the Isentress and Truvada combination. I have the medication, but if infection is very highly unlikely, I think I shouldn't. Friends are telling me not to worry and doctor says it is up to me (which I know). Opinions?
233616 tn?1312787196 Yup, for a reading of the meeting with Merck Schering and their boceprevir drug check out the link. I haven't heard of anything on behalf of Vertex and telaprevir but I'm sure they're not wasting any time either as many ppl expect telaprevir to be approved first. In August Merck Schering said that they will be filing an NDA in 2011. Vertex has their Ambassador program intact and waiting in the wings to promote tx and whatever else comes down the pipeline.
Avatar m tn I was diagnosed with Hepatitis C in 2005 because there was very little data available for the drug. After only a few injections i was miraculously cured. However, in 2009 I was told that I never did have hepatitis C or ID have antibodies and I don't have any HCV Antibodies. Why would Merck pharmaceuticals state that I was infected with HCV when in fact I wasn't?
1223953 tn?1267031036 I am on the above HIV therapy/combo for almost 2 years ..... It has greatly reduced my viral load. But, my liver results AST/ALT have been terrible since June. This week I have started to have yellowing of the eyes? Should I drop the Reyataz ?
Avatar f tn Will Merck drug and interferon and ribo be ok without fat?
Avatar m tn should I take Isentress again at 7;30 am so that I maintain the 7:30am/7:30pm timeline for Isentress? The pharmacist and lots of online resources stressed the importance of taking the pills on time each time.
Avatar m tn The doctor told me to take Tenvir once a day for 30 days and Isentress twice a day for 30 days, I want to know what is my risk of exposure to HIV, and did my risk require PEP? Does PEP lower my risk to 0? Do I need to finish my PEP treatment?
Avatar m tn I was recently with a male, who predominantly engaged in fingering me. During this time, he was lying off to the side and a couple of times would put his penis in my vaginal entrance. It's splitting hairs to identify if he penetrated. He denies doing so. If he did, it would have been very minimal - perhaps just the tip and for hardly any time at all.
