Avatar n tn after use of pegasys injection what is success full ratio of hepatites c patients.
Avatar m tn Yes, Pegasys is no more available in market. What is MRP of Exxura 180mcg? Are you getting any offer or discount on this?
Avatar n tn Can only tell you what it costs here in the USA. The total treatment costs around $50-60,000 USD. This is for someone needing to do 48 weeks of treatment. Some treatments are for only 24 weeks so that would be around $30,000. The cost is aprox for ALL the injections and the pills that are part of the treatment. There are new drugs coming out next year that will be added to the current drugs, Peg-interferon & Ribavirin. The first one out should be Telaprevir.
1722607 tn?1335747858 I contacted my insurance company today to ask about the price of the meds for triple treatment. A 3 month supply of interferon, ribavirin, & Victrelis would cost $180.00 (so about $60 a month) I thought it was going to be a lot higher. But I forgot to ask about "rescue drugs". Not sure how that works and how much that would be. Any one have an idea?
Avatar f tn In regard to injection, if u pull back and see blood does it mean you hit a.capillary,or vein or what? Last week the nurse who gave me the shot did.not pull back and check for blood. If there is blood can u withdraw needle and inject in different spot in same area?
Avatar m tn The nurse gave me the Pegasys injection intramuscular in my arm instead of subcutaneous? Will that have any effect on the course of treatment? Does it have the same efficacy?will I still benefit from the injection in the same intended way?

422881 tn?1257603579 I would like to avoid injecting in my thighs if possible due to the irritation at the injection site and the fact that my legs ache so massaging them would be difficult coupled with the irritation. I just took my 4th shot so no irritation there yet, but the first 2 places have a brown colored appearance and the 3rd site is still red, itches, and feels like a bad sunburn. All these splotches are not quite as big as a tennis ball.
Avatar n tn what should i do if pegasys injection remains outside the fridge for 18 hrs?should i use it or not?
1084115 tn?1385228589 Please note that the needle supplied with the PEGASYS pre-filled syringe is for subcutaneous injection only and is not suitable for any other type of injection (e.g. intramuscular injection) http://www.news-medical.net/drugs/Pegasys.aspx Hopefully others will chime in and share their experiences & insight.
Avatar f tn I think you'll find that a lot of people have irritation at the injection site. There were a few things that we found to be very helpful, and which reduced the redness at the site post-injection. One, make sure you've warmed up the Pegasys between your hands before, you don't want to inject cold interferon. Also, massaging the area for a few minutes post-injection was very helpful. Once we started doing these two things, the redness went away for the most part.
Avatar n tn umm in the usa without insurance, n im chronic.
Avatar n tn My physician prescribed PegIntron and gave me my fist treatment shot (he had a supply in the office). Come to find out that even after our insurance coverage, my out of pocket expense is $973 per month or PegIntron. I simply can't afford to pay this. I did some research and found that Pegasys is comparable and my copay would be $50 per month. I am also taking Ribavirin. I do not know if I can stop the PegIntron and start the Pegasys.
335297 tn?1210597884 For Week 1, a nurse injected me to show me how Peg-Intron was administered (I had used Pegasys during my first treatment). After the first injection of Peg-Intron, I was completely immobilized with flu-type fever, chills, body-aches that lasted for about 3 days.
Avatar m tn ru/algeron/ ) No info on hbv yet but I think they will be testing soon. As for price they report at lest 30-40% less then pegasys. Pegasys price is $400 for injection. Stef, studyforhope how do you think can algeron be more potent for hbv then pegasys?
