Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn If you are on triple therapy for genotype 1 and undetectable then your doc is following AASLD protocol for anemia management Anemia developed among recipients of both PIs. Hemoglobin decreases below 10 g/dL (grade 2 toxicity) occurred in 49% of patients who received a BOC regimen compared to 29% of those who received the SOC regimen, whereas 9% had a hemoglobin decline of <8.5 g/dL (grade 3 toxicity).
259041 tn?1206482847 Dr. Lupo, a question about dosing of Tapazole. I've been on meds for a little over a year. Was doing well for 8 months, then I stopped taking it for a couple of weeks( to see if it was causing muscle pain,was only on 2.5 mgs) Doc increased it to 5 mgs. for 3 months. Went into hypo range, he didn't reduce it... my labs were as follows: tsh-4.21(0.35-5.5) free t-4 -0.84 (0.8-1.9) total t-3- 0.9 (1.10-2.00) low, he said we'd reduce it next time. then 3 months later my tsh was 6.
Avatar m tn They may in fact have a busy lifestyle, such as being a fireman or policeman, and the physician simply decides that to bring their D levels up to speed, a once a week protocol is better. Literature suggests that daily dosing at smaller levels is preferable, all other things being equal.
Avatar m tn * A fixed-dose induction (360 mcg) of PEGASYS given once every week for the first 12 weeks then the standard 180 mcg dose of PEGASYS for the following 36 weeks. Patients will also receive a 1,400-1,600 mg daily ribavirin dose for the full 48 week treatment period. * A fixed-dose induction (360 mcg) of PEGASYS given once every week for the first 12 weeks then the standard 180 mcg dose of PEGASYS for the following 36 weeks.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone. I was originally placed on atenolol 50mg once daily for hyperthyroidism associated tachycardia but was found to have an arrythmia so while my thyroid is normal now, I am staying on the atenolol but have decreased the dose to 25mg daily.
Avatar m tn The recommended adult oral dose for treating duodenal ulcers is 40 mg once daily at bedtime or 20 mg twice daily. Most patients heal their ulcers within 4 weeks. The regimen for maintenance therapy after the ulcers are healed is 20 mg once a day at bedtime. The recommended adult oral dose for treating gastric ulcer is 40 mg once a day at bedtime, and esophagitis is treated with 20-40 mg twice daily for 6-12 weeks. Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is treated with 20 mg every 6 hours.
Avatar n tn That depends on your doctors comfort levels in prescribing , a patients ability to tolerate side effects, other medical conditions, effectiveness of using opiates, but typically- most physicians will not prescribe over 90 to 100 MME mg dosing per day-(Morphine equivalent dosing per day)- and typically only for patients who have been on opiates for some time. MME dosing combines both long acting and immediate release types of opiates to reach 90-100mg MME daily.
6012171 tn?1381679620 He prescribed 60mg per day for 3 days for acute attacks. Three 20mg pills all at once, each morning for 3 days. From what I have read, prednisone should be tapered down. Maybe I am confused and that is only for long term use? Also, I don't know if this matters but I am a small person and wonder if this dose is too much. I am 5'3" and about 105 lbs. The only other medications I take are Baclofen, and occasionally Excedrine for headaches.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn Eliminating 60 grams of fat daily from your daily diet will definitely help stop the weight gain and in my option once the Incevik is stopped you will more than likely see your weight decrease. If at all possible try not to be to sedentary. Daily walks or mild to moderate exercise several times a week will help burn the calories.
Avatar f tn The only info I have read about the dose change so far has been tied to Vertex gradually declining quarterly performance and how they hope to improve the side effect profile and encourage more people to treat now rather than wait. I am guessing the OPTIMIZE trial shows twice daily dosing is equally efficaceous.
Avatar f tn However, all studies with acyclovir that have had similar outcomes to valtrex have been with twice daily dosing. So, I think you would be right to have your doctor prescribe that schedule for you. Also, I had a doctor who wouldn't even prescribe me suppressive or episodic therapy even though I had a positive blood test and symptoms that I was sure were related to herpes.
Avatar n tn hi, Ativan is a mid-acting benzo compared to clonazepam which is long-acting. ativan's half-live is 14 hours, but clonazepam's is between 20-50 hours. thus, you are experiencing the symptoms you mention simply because it take a lot longer for clonzepam to start kicking in. are you taking 1.5mg clonazepam only once a day? klonopin is best when taken over a course of twice or three times daily. as far as dosing, ativna's max dosing is 10mg daily and klonopin's is 4mg daily.
Avatar m tn ” This Phase 2a study has an adaptive trial design that will enroll 80 chronically-infected HBV patients between 18 and 70 years of age who will be assigned to one of four dosing cohorts, 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg or 200 mg of SB 9200, or placebo, once daily for 12 weeks. All subjects will then receive tenofovir 300 mg once daily for an additional 12 weeks of treatment. The Phase 2b portion of the ACHIEVE program is planned to examine the concomitant use of SB 9200 and tenofovir in 200 HBV patients.
Avatar f tn This is something you need to discuss with your doctor. Suboxone doesn't really require multiple dosing, and actually people very frequently develop mental hang ups about those subsequent daily doses when it's time to taper, they have a hard time eliminating those multiple doses. Subxone can be taken in one dose daily.
Avatar m tn t adjust daily. I take a consistent dose. I only go up when I am sick for cortisol/HC (stress dosing).
Avatar n tn Lantus is written as once daily but many doctors(including myself) and patients split the dose because even though it is supposed to be "peakless", it is not for some people. At low doses it works especially well as a split dose. Levemir can be used instead, and is more commonly written as twice daily. But at the doses you are taking there is likely no real benefit of one over the other. Glad to hear your BS have evened out a bit.
Avatar m tn On the day before administration of the next dose, peginterferon--2b was undetectable in nine patients in group A (once weekly dosing). The same pattern was observed during the next 3 weeks of therapy. In group B (twice weekly dosing) peginterferon--2b was detectable at any given time point and higher than in group A (P between 0.01 and <0.0001). Viral load decreased in all patients within 2 days after the first dose of peginterferon--2b, but increased again on day 3.
