At day 22, i took raltegravir from the box but im not sure whether i drank the pill with the water or not. Normally, I remember the pills that I drank through glass of water but i cannot remember this time whether i drank this pill with glass of water or not but i counted pills and i concluded that their numbers are as expected.
I searched couple of papers and i concluded not to double the dose in the case of i used that pill.
combining emtricitabine and tenofovir from the NRTI class, and raltegravir, from the integrase inhibitor class. There ARE alternative drugs available and possibly in Thailand they use lamivudine in place of raltegravir. I am definitely NOT a chemist, so I can't tell you for sure if the combination you're taking is appropriate. You should discuss your concerns with the doctor who prescribed PEP or a pharmacist/chemist. I wish you the best.
I started PEP 2 hrs later (truvada, norvir, raltegravir, and preszita), my initial results are negative. I do not know the viral load of the patient yet, i can only pray that it is low. I know odds are 0.3% but that doesnt settle my fears, i am young and want to live a happy healthy life with KIDS! DR. please tell me if you have honstly heard of any cases like mine that have converted. I am in awe and feel like my life is totally over and ruined.
I am currently taking truvada and isentress (raltegravir) is this enough I couldn't get my prescription for dolutegravir filled...is this pep enough?
m confused on the prescriptions given to me I have a 7 day dose of raltegravir and dolutegravir...thought it was supposed to be 28 days?
I appreciate your blunt response. I was prescribed Truvada + raltegravir (PEP) but could not obtain raltegravir in Europe. To be fair, I called the US PEP hotline who told me that I could take Truvada as PEP as there are no studies that prove it’s ineffective, so I didn’t start it without advice from the US HIV experts. I agree my anxiety is an issue but I legitimately was seeking an answer.
Ive has pacs/pvcs for over a year! All tests have came back completely normal. Had 2 echoes and several ecg's. My blood work was normal. My magnesium was 1.9, which I know is in the normal range. But, I have read alot about magnesium benefiting people with heart palpitations. So my question is, do you think 1.9 is on the low end and would I benefit from taking magnesium supplements?
Has anyone had a magnesium sulfate drip before? What were your side effects? And did it successfully slow your labour? or manage your blood pressure?
Keep in mind that vitamins & minerals are important for kitty, but what's most important is that you get them in the right ratios. Calcium and phosphorus without enough vitamin D, for example, will produce bone abnormalities.
Magnesium is probably the mineral of the most concern in cat nutrition for owners, and especially to owners of male cats because of its role in the formation of struvite uroliths (magnesium ammonium phosphate). However, magnesium is not a "bad guy".
I am wondering on how worthwhile it would be to take magnesium (and any other) supplements to help combat my mild cardiomyopathy. If yes, how much and what kind? I have a 1 to 2 centimeter area of hypokinesis in left ventricle and very mild hypokinesis in right ventricle. LVEF - 45-50%. I have NSVT, inducable Sustained VT and V-Fib, as well as A-Fib. I do have an ICD. I take Coreg and Lisinopril. I am 34 years old. Thanks for your time and advice!
At last appt (two weeks ago), my cervix is still closed and long and everything there was good, but my doctor has told me to take Magnesium as a precaution. Apparently proper levels of magnesium during pregnancy can help keep the uterus from contracting until last month - Dropping levels may start labor contractions.
Did anyone else take Magnesium or taking it? Just curious if you took it and if it worked?
I have had high blood pressure for a good while and I was just about to start on medication when last week I had a colonoscopy which involved taking solutions to provoke diarrhoea which contain a high dose of Magnesium Oxide and since then my BP has dropped right down to about 130 over 80. I've been eating food rich in magnesium since then and it's still way down although my pulse is high for me as I have always had bradycardia and it's usually around 45 and now it's 70 to 80.
I jump out of bed. My doctor recommended magnesium and it works WONDERS! I would try taking a couple of magnesium vitamin pills before going to bed. I also take a potassium vitamin plus eat bananas. When I do this on a regular basis, I don't have the cramps. But if I neglect this for a few weeks, my magnesium and potassium reserves run low and they start again.
My doctor prescribed me 500mg magnesium and I'm supposed to take 4 every 6 hours to help prevent preterm labor...it seems like way too much.. has anyone else had this?
I know it is highly recommended to take magnesium to help with your vitamin D absorption if you supplement, but does anyone know what KIND of magnesium? Also how much & how often? Can it increase your calcium?
Anyways I rushed to the hospital and was put on PEP at a maximum of 3 hours post exposure (truvada and raltegravir). I have taken the pills without missing any doses. At 3 weeks post exposure the lymph nodes in my neck swelled up slightly and I felt a tiny bit feverish. Checking my temperature rectally though revealed it was always in the 37s. These strange symptoms lasted only 2 days...could this be ARS?
I actually went to the clinic, got PEP (truvada 200mg and Raltegravir 400mg), also done hiv prick test which was negative. Dr was helpful and explained everything for me. He also said best thing is as u guys suggest, ask him test but also if he is clear 6 weeks back also, but that also depends on trust.
On my side i don't wanna embarrass him as twice he told me not to worry.
In the following day, I finally could find a very good hospital with a specialized area for HIV treatment, and the doctor was quite surprised that they had given me just a Truvada. She added a Isentress (raltegravir) to my Pep treatment. But I could realized that she was quite worried because I had had only Truvada in the begining of my treatment and in the very deadline edge.
I am taking Truvada and Raltegravir. Yesterday, (3 days after exposure and 2 days on PEP) I had protected sex with a female partner (I, the insertive male) and when I ejaculated I am afraid some spilled off the base of the condom.
If I began PEP 24 hours after possible exposure and had protected sex with someone else on Day 2 of PEP, could I have biologically put them at risk for HIV if by any chance the ejaculate spilled off the condom?
I started PEP (Truvada and ISENTRESS which is Raltegravir Potassium Tablets) in 47 hours. I also saw some case about PEP with blood transfusion. A 12 years old girl had a blood transfusion with hiv blood, she took PEP( tenofovir, emtricitabine, ritonavir-boosted darunavir (subsequently changed to lopinavir) and raltegravir) after 24 hours and had these PEP for three months. This girl also has cssr5 dna which is a dna that hard to infect hiv.
I have been taking 1 magnesium citrate 200mg at bedtime for approximately 1.5 weeks. I do have a history of headaches, but since I started taking it, I am waking up with severe headaches which seem to last 3 to 4 hours. The only other thing I take is a B6 vitamin. I take no prescription medication, so I know it is not an interaction. Everything I read says magnesium is good for headaches. Any thoughts?
