pegasys

Avatar m tn Ok thank you for answering. So even if it was hiv+ blood on the cotton ball and i placed it on the finger with the prick from the needle on it hiv wouldn't of entered my blood stream?
Avatar n tn And what about the low fluid & discoloring &thickness of the ejaculation
1986676 tn?1329862471 Although my rash was largely a severe reaction to the Incivek, he wanted to give my body a chance to clear the majority of the rash. We could not rule out the role that the ribavirin and the interferon may have played in my allergic reaction to treatment. As a side note, the rash is not entirely resolved. The place on my right arm that we suspected might be an injection site reaction, continues to grow in size - every time I have a shot, although i am taking those in the belly now.
Avatar f tn Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) is available as either 0.5 ml preloaded syringes or 1.0 ml vials that have to be loaded by you into the syringe. Both contain 180 ug of interferon. I received one shipment of the 1.0 ml vials and didn't like the extra hastle and volume to deliver. I requested to receive the 0.5 ml syringes from then on. I agree that the 0.5 ml preloaded syringes are easier to deal with and the smaller volume is also nicer.
Avatar n tn I am 22 yr old and i have hepatitis c genome 3 and i am taking pegasus\once weekly and ribavirin since 19-6-08 my question is have i to do weekly CBC or I can do every 2weeks before the injection ?
Avatar n tn Love those because they are famous and classic and mean something like brightness, joyfulness, and bloom, but the words themselves are not all that pretty to the modern English-speaking reader. In that way, they are similar to the Muses, whose names all mean great and interesting things but are not used daily for little girls born in 2013 despite that fact.
483814 tn?1214311480 It is being labeled........I was just diagnosed with Hep C and work now in sales due to Katrina, but I am afraid to tell my job, not because I need to look good but ashamed because of being labeled..........when people mention Hep C it is like I don't want to touch you, they stand at a distance, I work in makeup and I know I will not be able to tell anyone even though I have been told I have probably had Hep C for years...which I seem to have caught it from a blood transfusion from surgery..
Avatar m tn She even picked up the vile containignt the oraquick liquid and blood and took it out of the room so I wouldbnt have to look at it for 20 minutes straight. So now I'm thinking that she probably used an old lancet to prick my finger. What are the chances of me geting HIV?
3159290 tn?1384128440 well its like this: i went to uams in little rock arkansas for help with the type 1 stage 4 hep c for a year and a half. after that time i asked the dr. why i haven't been put on pegasus and he said he was afraid it might kill me due to having an ammonia attack 8 months pryor. i stated the fact to him that i had been given 3 to 4 years to live and i would rather die from trying to put this disease "under arrest" than to die from.
Avatar n tn "Due to the intensity and major side effects of the Incivek, it has been advised to start with the interferon/ribavirin treatment." If Incivek has changed their treatment protocol as you claim could you please post the link to that info, because as far as I know incivek does not have a lead in period as does victrelis, when you start treatment with incivek you start all 3 drugs at the same time.
Avatar f tn s any other way to help it other than remove it through surgery, and like Pegasus, surgery is the last thing i want. Especially considering im only 18.
Avatar n tn Will the Pegasus work without CoPegasus, I'm getting alot of side effects, I cant sleep and itchy rash's, I can handle the Pegasus alone but the Copegasus makes me feel bad. My liver function test are normal. Has anybody gotten rid of the hep without it?
Avatar f tn Hi, I'm new here, and my husband is in his 10th month of treatment. Just had his second transfusion, and he isn't bouncing back. They upped his procrit, and he has had to stop taking ribavirin again. He's still on a half dose of pegasus and his viral count is undetectable. His doctor said he hated to pull the rug out from under him last visit, and it looks like I"m going to have to take him before his next visit. I think he may need another transfusion soon.
Avatar m tn Just got my Pegasus and co Pegasus.Was hoping just for just the Pegasus, But there was a study that said non responders faired no better than responders on there study. Why this applies to me I do not know. I am a relapser. This cost the insurance company big money. Any Ideas? At stage 4 i have no time to wait. Have had the same issues getting into the studies. Relapser. Life can be hard at times.
Avatar m tn I I will be taking pegasus soon.can my wife be subjected to any of the drug through oral sex with me ?not a joke question.
Avatar f tn About two months ago somehow my ins. got some wrong info they said no to the meds they have been given me since Aug 2007 so i had to get to the bottom of it. It was a nightmare. the ins company said they didn't deni the claim and the caremark said they didn't deni the claim. I was getting desperate I was still takin the meds. I called caremark to see how it was if I paid for it.he said for a month of the meds it was about $2700.00 thank God my claim did come through.
Avatar f tn Hi I am Viktoriya.First week of treatment with PEGASUS and COPEGUS -feel very bad :fever, headaches, body hearts like- flu but stronger,feeling dizzy. Is it getting better after first week??
Avatar n tn Second, the Pegasys is BIG and slowly absorbed from the injection site and carried to the liver where it acts on liver cells. Its level in the blood rises and stays high for 4-7 days. On the other hand, PegIntron is a smaller more fragile molecule and is fairly rapidly metabolized and excreted. Its level in the blood rises during the first 2-3 days after injection and quickly falls so that by day 5 - day 7 you may have NO drug in yr body.
Avatar m tn 6 million and started with Pegasus and Ribovarin Therapy at third month my pcr become –ve I left the treatment after 24 injection but after 35 days of breakthrough when pcr become +ve I started the treatment again . now I getting Pegasus and Ribovarin Therapy . my question is that at this moment I have taken 28 injection .
Avatar f tn t sleep whole night and woke up this morning so late.............We are thinking of stopping the treatment as the size effects are unbearable......Hubby is a businessman and has to work full day so it dnt look possible to continue the treatment especially when there is no guarantee either the virus will be finished or relapse again............Need ur suggestions what to do.............
