Avatar m tn if its HCV and nothing else I wouldnt rush to treating you but would let things play out as the therapy can be difficult and cause a lot of side effects. there may also be new meds available soon in the post-liver transplant setting.
Avatar n tn I now developed cancer, brain problem and I told my physician d side effects of drugs and he told me that he cannot help me. I stopped the medication last week because of anger and someone told me to start it again which I did. Am so in confusion state now.
Avatar f tn Almost 4 months post transplant and have been experiencing a dull headache for the last few weeks, everyday. It is a dull headache and the discomfort is random...sometimes its on the left side of the head, sometimes on the right, sometimes between the eyes, etc. It's not a migraine, but a dull pain, nagging pain. Can this be a side effect from any of the medications? Pentamidine (aerosol) 1x monthly, Prograf 2mg 2x daily, metroprolol tartarate 12.

Avatar f tn I am 6 years post liver transplant from genotype 3 Hep C. My doctors want to start treatment to clear the virus. I take Prograf for the liver transplant and I know Naragenin affects the Prograf levels. My question is if during treatment I also took Naragenin and my prograf levels were closely watched and adjusted for the Naragenin effects, wouldn't I have a better chance of clearing the virus.
Avatar n tn I know medicine as a whole works this way but is very frustrating to watch your son go through self induced side effects adding to initial problems. I just pray every day for a cure and until the day of a cure, i continue to enjoy every minute of my son. I would be happy to answer any questions in detail of the road thus far. Just feel free to write.
Avatar f tn Of late Iam having many side effects because of the prolonged usage of themedicine like restlessness,,slight giddiness anxiety and gabbraut.The medicine is only to supplement the shortage externally.Do you agree Homeopathy treatment will be advisable.Ihighly value your input.
686869 tn?1227199935 Cellcept is a strong drug and as far as I know it has more side effects than prograf. I am taking now (6 years after TP) 1.5 mg of prograf and 1 mg of rapamune per day. The latter is considered also to have some antiviral effect. However, different people metabolize drugs differently, so it has to be decided based on lab tests. You take now 4 mg of program and 1000 mg of cellcept, which seems to be a large dose.
Avatar n tn I am probably experiencing every side effect this medicine can deliver. Have had 2 transfusions within 4 weeks of each other and the second one only increased my cell count from 7.5 to 7.7. I was given Procrit and was told that I may have to have this injection every week. I am also experiencing sores and problems in my mouth. The doctor says that this is also a side effect to the medicine.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know of any side effects from using the circulation booster. I have the opportunity to buy a second hand one, but my brother believes it can't be good for your muscles to zap them so to speak, like it will confuse your muscles.
Avatar m tn In your previous posts on the subject I think you said that your treatment for hcv was always under very close scrutiny by your transplant doc and that they always kept a real close eye on your treatment meds and the effects on your prograf doses and a delicate balance therein.
Avatar f tn just a quick question if anybody can answer it for me dose a dose increase in fluoxetine (prozac) cause any side effects? I'm going from 20mg per day to 40mg tonight due to the fact i'm feeling the 20mg isn't working as good as it has done for me.
Avatar f tn I think 2 mg Prograf per day at 6 months out is a really nice dose and his Prograf blood level of 6.5 is definitely within range.
