Avatar m tn Nurse advised me to take ZIDOLAM-N as PEP for 28 days. After continuing for 3 days i visited a doctor and he told me that Nevirapine should not be used for PEP but since i already started the PEP, he advised me to continue the same medication and asked to monitor closely the side effects of the drug. Now today Friday i am experiencing some pain in the upper abdomen. Is there any possibility that i can change the PEP drug to avoid nevirapine, please Suggest?
Avatar m tn I am going to the US in 2 days, if I cannot find a way to get pep here, could I take his ARVs just until then as a temporary measure? He says he takes nevirapine and tenofivir/lamivudine blend. Any advice really appreciated! If my risk is very low I would prefer not to take pep but I suspect I may be best advised to do so. If it makes a difference, I am prone to have a tiny amount of blood(I think from tears) on toilet paper when I use the bathroom so that may make it more risky? Thanks!
Avatar n tn You can develop resistance to a STAT-C drug however. So when someone is choosing a trial with a STAT-C drug involved, you want to choose with care - the same will apply when undergoing treatment with a STAT-C drug when they finally get to market. You want a doctor/treatment team who understands the issues and you'll want to understand them yourself so that your first attempt with a STAT-C drug is as hopefully your last.
Avatar f tn IR or insulin resistance is a sign of type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes. I am assuming you are referring to either the A1C or fasting blood glucose levels. The first thing of course is a change in life style. This does not mean you have to stop eating everything but to be more judicious in your eating habits. In addition, regular exercise is paramount in reducing those :numbers". Talk this over with your physician and get started on these changes.
Avatar f tn There is little doubt that the indiscriminate use of antibiotics has contributed to the emergence of bacterial resistance, both in hospitals and community settings [1]. The major force driving changes in the prevalence of resistance in the community seems to be the volume of drug use [...]" http://cid.oxfordjournals.org/content/33/Supplement_3/S170.
Avatar m tn there have been only one or two reported cas of true resistance of Chlamydia trachomatis to doxycycline and/or azithromycin. If it works out that way, I would expect your doctors to write up a scientific report for publication. I that event, I would not venture a guess about the best alternate treatment to use; that decision would rest on the lab tests to determine the best choice.n However, I still would not worry about eventual treatment success; there has never been a C.
Avatar f tn Hi! I need some ideas on different resistance training I can do at home? Trying something new so any ideas are welcome! Thanks!
Avatar f tn I have an appointment with my obgyn a week from Monday to follow up with him. Should I be tested for an immune deficiency or resistance? Any advice welcome.
Avatar n tn On the report it did not show outside the normal but she said the usually accepted cut off for insulin resistance was lower than my level. I was placed on 500mg metformin, told to cut out process/refined sugar, carbs, and be re-tested. This process has continued and now I am on 2000 mg of metformin and my levels are actually higher. I have not been perfect with the diet but certainly much better than before.
Avatar m tn Most of the issues you brought up are covered in http://www.hepatologytextbook.com/. One thing I want to correct, though: "Could this mean in the 12th month i was in fact building up a resistance to the tablets?" Unlike drugs like painkillers where *people* develop resistance, with anti-virals and antibiotics, it is the *virus* that develops resistance. If you feel any pain, you should definitely talk to your doc right away.
1033523 tn?1258035082 My gynocologist just diagnosised me with insulin resistance based on some symptoms I was having and is sending me to a endocrinologist. Since I am new to this I had a question. My blood sugar has always come back normal, but now that I have this am I going to have to test daily or is this something that depends on your results? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but this is all new to me. So I have some learning to do.
Avatar f tn He diagnosed me as thyroid resistance. I have tried everything. I have put my stuff on the thyroid boards on facebook, looking for any help and any answer. I understand they usually treat this with high levels of t4 and t3 and usually a beta blocker. I really need some help. I dont know if you can steer me in the right direction. I feel awful and to get thru everyday is really hard. I am finding it harder and harder to wake up when I fall asleep.
1287446 tn?1313947638 I’ve done a lot of research online and when I read about insulin resistance, it seems to pinpoint nearly everything I’m experiencing. I’m not overweight, and I think that doctors tend to think you have to be overweight to have an issue (at least my current doctor does). I’m paranoid about becoming overweight and have always monitored calories, macronutrients, etc.
Avatar f tn If you are type 2, insulin resistance is considered key part of the problem (though insulin resistance can also happening in Type 1). To address insulin resistance you can:- 1. Lose excess weight if you are overweight 2. Adopt a low carb or even a ketogenic diet (be sure to get enough protein and don't overdo the fats) 3. Regular vigorous physical exercise 4. Insulin sensitizing drug such as metformin.
26471 tn?1211936521 For six years, I believed there was a single-source connection between interferon resistance and interferon resistance. It is, as I suspected, a gene. The gene is SOCS3 - Suppressor Of Cytokine Signaling-3. The discovery of this gene also sheds some light on why prior nonresponders have more trouble acheiving SVR. 1. SOCS-3 is elevated by HCV's core protein. 2. SOCS-3 elevation causes interferon resistance. 3. SOCS-3 elevation causes insulin resistance in the liver. 4.
