Avatar n tn The researchers randomly assigned participants to one of three treatments — vitamin E, pioglitazone or a placebo capsule — taken daily for nearly two years. Each volunteer underwent a liver biopsy at the beginning and end of the trial. Biopsies revealed that 43 percent of the vitamin E group showed substantial improvement, based on a composite score of liver tissue characteristics, as did 34 percent of people receiving pioglitazone and 19 percent of those on placebo.
1504778 tn?1321394645 Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. You could always look at the label to see what it says, or check the manufacturer's website - not sure what the maker is of your script it should show on your bottle.
Avatar n tn i was taking 400 twice daily and had a very minor breakout. I was under the impression that 800 mg twice daily was the treatment during an outbreak. So why not take 800 mg twice daily for suppression? Wouldn't it be more effective than 400 mg twice daily? If not at least I would already have the recommended dose to treat outbreaks on hand. My main question is there any negatives to taking 800 mg twice daily regularly for suppression?
806995 tn?1265823176 agreed that the '08 metformin study did not make a strong case for adding metformin in all patients, however you might also want to look at a recent Khattab'10 study that looked at adding pioglitazone in geno 4s with HOMA1 gt 2. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19919569 They measured across-the-board improvement in SVR rates 60% vs 39% significant at 0.04. Geno 4s seem to be particularly susceptible to IR-related effects so this may not generalize.
Avatar f tn How much hydrocortisone do you folks take per day? Did any of you take a higher daily dose per day formerly and then lower it to your current dose? If so, did it take awhile to adjust to the lower dose? Thanks.
Avatar f tn I had problems tolerating the 50,000 IU megadoses of D2 and had to switch to daily doses of D3 gel caps 4400 IUs daily. But that could just be me -- everyone's different. Good luck!
Avatar f tn For women who are unresponsive to clomiphene,the oral hypoglycemic agents like metformin could be of little help, or pioglitazone, may bring resumption of regular cycles and ovulation. These agents reduce the hyperinsulinemia and hyperandrogenemia in PCOS. These are actually medically prescribed medicines for PCOS.As this syndrome is very common in women the case is often individualised and treatment option will be processed and prescribed.Fell free to talk to your Doc.
1242273 tn?1269552203 The first year metforim helped my numbers and now I am on metformin 2X500mg twice a day and then added two 5mg twice a day of PMS-glyburide and now two weeks ago added APO-pioglitazone 45mg once a day. I watch what I eat cook from diabetic cook books try to get exercise which can be very painful due to fibromyalgia, but my numbers arent dropping. I'm mostly all the time running in the mid 20's.
Avatar n tn If not a dose around 16mgs should hold a gram a day or any severity of addiction to heroin. I was doing right around that same dose daily of very pure light brown rock Heroin and 8mgs to start with took away completely all of the physical wds, I had some cravings within the next month, but the mental aspect of wds and recovery is truly fixed through going to counseling, NA meetings, and therapy.
Avatar f tn Is the pitting edema progressive? Are you on pioglitazone? or rosiglitazone? Answers to these questions would further help.
959621 tn?1291246952 You guys should add a daily medication tracker. So we can track what we take and what time we take it. I think that would come in really handy.
907968 tn?1292622204 That proved to be too much so my dose is now 25 mg daily. The same procedure is usually followed with ACE and Calcium blockers. Frequent blood tests are important of course, as are EF tests when applicaable. Ed's post is really interesting, this could be a study with huge ramifications.
Avatar n tn WHEN TAKING OPIODS ON A DAILY BASIS, IS IT SAFE TO REDUCE THE USAGE UNTIL YOU ARE FREE OF THE DESIRE TO TAKE THEM? IF SO, HOW MUCH WOULD BE SAFE TO LESSEN IF FOR EXAMPLE YOU TAKE 4 TO 5 DAILY?

535882 tn?1396576685 Check the Vitamin D Council's website. They generally say that we should be taking about 5,000 iu. What you should do is this: And, this is information I've gotten from both Mercola and the Vitamin D Council: Take the dose you plan on using as your maintenance dose for six months. Then, get tested again. If it goes down significantly, it's not enough. If it stays close to the same, it is the right amount.

Avatar m tn ve tested various doses of TDF during trials before releasing it but no data published and available from them on effect of different dosing.. Planning on reducing current daily dose of TDF 300mg to 150mg daily or to 300mg every other day in an attempt to lower the possible damage kidneys and to slow down damage to bones (osteoporosis started), and perhaps less chance for lactic acidosis.
Avatar n tn HI, It sounds like your wife will definitely need an additional medication--if not restarting the Pioglitazone, then an alternative. There are lots of different diabetes medications available that will help. Those glucose levels are indeed too high and should be addressed soon. Please ask your wife to contact her doctor as soon as possible(I suggest within the next 2 days a most) and discuss being started on another medication to bring her levels down.
