Avatar f tn Tenofovir disoproxil and telbivudine are categorized as class B regarding safety in pregnancy and the other HBV drugs as class C. Lamivudine and tenofovir disoproxil have not been shown to be associated with fetal abnormalities even when used during the first trimester of pregnancy.[73] (extracted from an article in Nature by Prof. Anna Lok] 3. So, I think Lamivudine is safe. You must consult your doctors, including your Obstetrician, they must work as a team to look after you and your baby.
Avatar n tn She is nervous because she has experienced with 2 drugs already and seem not working. Not sure about the third drug (tenofovir or else). If the third one fails again, will this the end of her day? No more drug to rescue? If she stops, there will be a flare. That is why she is not happy now.
Avatar m tn It has the same active ingredient, tenofovir, but contains a different molecular sidechain that drops away as the drug nears its site of desired activity in the body. ...... We expect this is likely to play out the same way in China where GSK has the marketing rights to Viread and when it receives manufacturing and marketing approval from China's State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) sometime likely to be in 2014.
Avatar n tn Baraclude (Entecavir) is a class C drug for pregnancy, Tenofovir is class B. Doctors do not recommend Entecavir during pregnancy, so you may have to stop Entecavir if you are planning to have a baby. Tenofovir is recommended during the third trimester and many women had also taken it during the whole of pregnancy. Talk to your doctor.
Avatar n tn it is a failed hiv drug, this is the clear strategy drug makers had at 2000, use of failed hiv drug on hbv to make mutants (instead using tenofovir which makes no mutants) and then find always new drugs with patent and high price for the mutants......
Avatar m tn Currently on a clinical trial (TAF vs TDF - double blinded study). Started meds 3 days ago, didn't notice any side effects until later yesterday. I can only describe it as my feet and legs feeling cold. Did some research and it's suggested lactic acidosis. Should I be concerned this early on about this? I'm not sure if it's a side effect of the drug or just the cold weather doing it right now (I also sit under an air vent all day at work). At what point should I be worried?
Avatar f tn ContraVir reports data shows CMX157 more potent against HBV than Gilead Viread ContraVir Pharmaceuticals (CTRV) announced preliminary data dramatizing the unique properties of CMX157, the company's highly potent lipid prodrug of the successful antiviral drug tenofovir, or TFV. CMX157 was shown to be 60-fold more active than tenofovir against the hepatitis B virus, or HBV, based on in vitro studies.
Avatar f tn Flupentixol, also known as flupenthixol, marketed under brand names such as Depixol and Fluanxol, is a typical antipsychotic drug of the thioxanthene class. It is beyond my limited knowledge to comment about Fluanxol. A quick Google search showed that it is an antipsychotic drug and it can cause hepatitis, elevated ALT, and hepatic failure. Best to consult your doctor.
Avatar n tn no tenofovir is not toxic, since adefovir was a failed drug for both hiv and hbv, drug makers tried to make a lot of disnformation and delay approval of tenofovir as long as possible. to do this they took data from hiv carriers which are mainly drug addicts and drug addicts have destroied bodies, destroied immune system and organs already, no need for hiv or tenofovir to have any damage.
Avatar f tn I did some research on tenofovir is safe to take during pregnancy.I am afraid the drug will cause birth defects. Any Mom is taking this drug while pregnant please share.
Avatar m tn Hi All, Is there a way I can have a prescription from a doctor when buying tenofovir online? Here in the Philippines, the drug is not yet available and the doctors are not prescribing it since it is not available. I'm planning to take tenofovir but having trouble in getting prescription, so i cannot order online. Please advise.
Avatar f tn Viread (Tenofovir) is an antiviral drug like baraclude. If baraclude works well with you, what is your doc's reason for changing?

Avatar f tn Please, I am a 23 year old male from West Africa, I started taking tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for my chronic hepatitis b three months ago. But I read online that the drug causes bone demineralization, so I want to know if I have to take something else alongside the drug to avoid bone loss.
Avatar m tn http://pharmacychecker.com/Pricing.asp?DrugName=Tenofovir+Disoproxil+Fumarate&DrugId=59463&DrugStrengthId=105019 or http://www.northdrugstore.com/buy-Viread.html maybe this will help ... but have to check before because some fake drugs can be sell over the internet.
Avatar m tn //www.hivandhepatitis.com/hiv-treatment/experimental-hiv-drugs/3439-gilead-starts-phase-2-trial-of-tenofovir-pro-drug-gs-7340 My guess is: since Viread's patent will expire in 2-3 years, Gilead is trying to come up with a new drug (Well, sort of 'new'). And Agenix is competing with them. P.S. I had some training in medicinal chemistry.

Avatar m tn it is only hiv patients to have kidneys toxicity from tenofovir but studies on hiv have no meaning because those patients are mostly drug users and their organs may be already destroyed by unhealthy lifestyles before using antivirals check the other posts where we posted these results, during tenofovir just monitor creatinine monthly as it should be done on every patients kidneys toxicity is the less with tenofovir, telbivudine and lamivudine, medium with entecavir and maximum with adefovir.
Avatar f tn I have the same question but with tenofovir, my son just born and my wife is being treated with tenofovir, I worry that drug will may cause any negative effect to the baby :(
Avatar m tn new TAF formulation produces 5-fold higher concentrations of active tenofovir diphosphate in the cells that harbor HIV, but drug levels in the blood remain much lower compared with TDF. This enables reduced dosing that is expected to have less detrimental effects on the kidneys and bones.
