Avatar f tn Clearly, the current experience with intravenous ribavirin in the treatment of SARS is likely to result in much higher fetal exposure, and current recommendations include avoidance of the drug during pregnancy and lactation. Given the prolonged intracellular half-life and the current lack of knowledge in this regard, effective contraception should be practised by women who receive ribavirin, during treatment and for at least 6 months after treatment is completed.

Avatar m tn Some germs are air-borne or highly contagious (such as Ebola, TB, SARS, Flu etc), so these infected persons may have to be quarantined. So bottom line, arm yourself with medical knowledge, not ignorant prejudice (like some countries in the Middle East), and practice commonsense.
Avatar f tn Hydrangea is not poisonus unless it is in contact with materials such as the lyme-related SARS virus, which hydrangea will begin to decay. If hydrangea is still a problem, one can use ozone (three oxygen molecules) mixed with cherry, tofu and water to help with the major pain.
Avatar f tn I have seen nothing that says a stray bit of corona virus would land on an acidic, wet surface and stay viable. For another, SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes Covid-19) is not a stomach virus. You don't get the illness from eating the virus, but from breathing it in. If you had, for example, wiped some virus molecules off the sack and then rubbed them into your eye or stuck them up your nose, there is a slight possibility, though from packaging is not the way most people get Covid-19.
4670047 tn?1375730401 I was just wondering how long some of you took the ribavirin after your last shot. I'm going to call the Dr. On Monday and ask. But I'm just a little anxious, my last shot is Mon. night. Thank you!
Avatar n tn How long that ribavirin stay's in my system after doctor tells me my bloodwork came out good and i can get of that medizin.
Avatar n tn I am running short on my Ribavirin. Does anyone know of any resources? What would be the least expensive way, assuming that my doc won't give my Rx.
Avatar f tn Another thing would be to look at a medical library at a medical center. You might look up how the U.S. handled the SARS epidemic a while back. You might contact international airlines that originate from the U.S. to see what their protocol is for international travelers that may have been exposed to an infectious disease abroad that includes a fever.
Avatar n tn I talked to a friend who worked for the CDC and he said that Adenovirus 14 and I think 44 are called the American SARS virus. But it doesn't usually spread quite as badly like the real SARS virus. They call it that since it has the same symptoms Severe acute respiratory syndrome if I remember the acronym correctly. They will probably treat it similarly. I sure hope he can pull though.I'm glad you and your friend didn't get the severe disease.
Avatar f tn UC is really part of the hidden virus gene that can mutate into a worse case such as HIV or SARS. Beware of radiational leaks in Japan. The radiation also can cause diseases similar to UC.
10318302 tn?1409256668 Ribavirin is definitely not a walk in the park but the combo of the two (Riba & Interferon) is definitely much worse. My husband tried triple treatment with Incivik and lasted only 5 weeks on it. It almost killed him. He just completed the Sovaldi & Ribavirin treatment for 24 weeks. (He's gt 1a). He definitely had a rough time because he has hepatic encephalopathy and it was worsened with treatment BUT the important thing is he made it through treatment.
Avatar f tn s assistant called yesterday and said I am anemic and to take a shot of procrit. Also to reduce to 400mg/day ribavirin instead of my 800mg. I am in week 15 and have been UND at week three on triple therapy with incivek. Genotype 1a. Weigh 140 lbs. I was on 1000mg for 6 weeks and for the remainder of the time have been on 800mg. Yesterday I started on 400 mg and am worried about relapse. What is the role of ribavirin and just how important is it to SVR? I am on course for 24 wk.
Avatar f tn I'm in the Telaprevir trial in week 13, so I finished the Telaprevir (or placebo) this past Wednesday. A day or two before that my scalp started itching. Yesterday it spread to the point that I had the itchies on almost half my body. Then I noticed tiny bumps where it itched worst. I took Benadryl, which didn't make it totally go away but brought it under control. It's better today but not gone. Just took another Benadryl.
