temodar daily dosing

We know the tumor is in a slightly different area than it was originally. He is in treatment (Temodar for the second time) for the third recurrence of his tumor. We have always been told it is in an area where surgery has not been an option. The oncologist does say he believes it is a higher grade. We think he believes it is glioblastoma but he won't say that definitely without doing another biopsy.

She had a surgical resection near the end of November and is currently in her third week of Proton Therapy and chemo with Temodar. Her tumor was in the right temporal lobe and the remaining tumor they couldn't remove (about 10 percent they said) is on her right insula. Hoping to chat with other people in the same boat as her. What if any side effects did you incur on Proton therapy? Did everyone who had proton therapy to their brain have to be on a steroid? Did anyone NOT lose hair.

I went from 1 - 60 mg Inderal ER capsule daily to twice daily which worked really well for pvc's/vt but didn't lower my bp enough. My dr decided to switch me to 120mg once daily; which has lowered my bp back down. I've noticed quite alot of symptoms such as chest pains, my heart in the place where it used to "ache" and hurt before ablation hurts alot during the day (underneath bottom inside) and if I lay on my left side I can feel my heart pumping harder.

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.

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).

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.

t fully awake and when I took my VIC, I also took my daily meds of ribavirin as well as my ADs. So here I am at 6:30 am wondering if I should take today's morning dose of RIba with the VIC or wait til my 6:30pm schedule. That would be a 20 hour lapse between doses! Yikes! This is twice now I wake up at 10:30pm so confused whether it is day or night...

HI, I AM WITH OLIGODENDROGLIOMA,, NOW ON CHEMOTHERAPY-TEMODAR 350MG.

t adjust daily. I take a consistent dose. I only go up when I am sick for cortisol/HC (stress dosing).

Preliminary evaluation of pharmacokinetics supports continuation of both the twice-daily and three times daily dosing arms in the study.

ve been taking an oral chemotherapy drug called VP-16 (etoposide) on a daily two-weeks-on, two-weeks-off schedule. This has controlled the growth of my tumors during that time, although the sacrum tumor required radiation in January of this year. I opted for the radiation as opposed to surgery, due to the risk of becoming paralyzed.

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.

) brand name for combination therapy of interferon alfa-2b and ribavirin. I am uncertain of the way your dosing has been expressed to your insurance company, but this is how I would calculate the dosing you need. 125 lbs = 57 kg 57 x 13 mg ribavirin = 741 mg ribavirin 57 x 15 mg ribavirin = 855 mg ribavirin This calculation shows that you need at least 800 mg ribavirin per day, divided in one morning and one evening dose of 400 mg each.

I would think that is too many in a 24 hour day if they are prescribed 3 times daily. I take a med 3 times daily and I take one in the morning, one in the early evening and the last one at bedtime.

I was diagnosed with secondary autoimmune adrenal insufficiency in December. I feel lousy most of the time, have chronic abdominal pain and abnormal stools, and feel best flat on my back...which doesn't work well for someone who works 12 hour shifts in a busy ER while selling one house, building another, and has 2 teens and a disabled husband, lol. Here's my question. If a person has say diabetes, their meds are based on their blood sugars.

Neurologist number 2 gave me the options of taking daily tegretol for the trigeminal and occipital neuralgias or treating the attacks as needed with 3 day courses of prednisone. The third option was nerve block injections. I do feel like neither one of my neurologists has taken the severity of my pain seriously. Maybe they see so many people in pain on a daily basis, it just gets boring to them.

If you intend to use the Klonopin as a prophylactic (preventative) treatment for a chronic anxiety disorder (such as panic disorder), it should be dosed twice daily at the minimum. When dosed twice daily at the minimum, Klonopin accumulates. The amount of the drug in your system is held at a consistent level once it accumulates. The benefit of accumulation is twenty-four hour coverage for your anxiety symptoms.

I was just started on Sotalol in the hospital, 120 mg 2x daily. I was scheduled for a cardioversion after 3 days on the Sotalol but the drug converted me 4 hours after the first dose. I have been monitored 24/7 and I am still in NSR but after the 6th dose my heart rate dropped into the 40's and I was getting dizzy. The dose was cut back to 80 mg 2x day today. Waiting to see what happens to my heart rate now.

granted it is designed for heavier folks, but it should yield a lot of data regarding soc drugs dosing and response... "More than 1,000 patients will be enrolled in PROGRESS and will be randomized to receive one of four dosing regimens of PEGASYS plus ribavirin for 48 weeks, followed by a 24-week treatment-free follow-up period.

I am not an authority on taking Sub, I can only share what I have experienced and how I believe its usage impacts and effectsyour daily life. I think I read that you only take Sub when you feel uncomfortable. My assumption is the definition of uncomfortable means when you have a craving of some sort..is that what you meant? If so, please let me suggest something. When taking Sub, you should take the exact amount each day and take the exact dosage at the exact same time each day.

A month ago my husband (41) had a tumor resection of a GBM in the left temporal/frontal lobe. He is still recovering from surgery and has begun cancer treatment (temodar& radiation) a week ago. He has a previous accident injury where he has struggled with neck pain for ten years. He has been on suboxone for probably 7 years now. He is currently taking his suboxone but is not getting any relief for his head pain.
