Truvada off label uses

Common Questions and Answers about Truvada off label uses

truvada

Avatar m tn Yes it is only approved for hiv, just like Truvada was never approved for hbv. But off label use is always possible and Truvada was also used frequently by hepatologists for difficult cases.
Avatar m tn absolutely off label, one might even think about truvada plus immune globulins plus vaccine since truvada has been used after transplant to prevent reinfection and it worked on 100% persons it would be interesting to see a study on antivirals to prevent hbv after exposure but i guess it would be too difficult to make such a study and especially to find the subjects so transplantation might be the closest to this situation considering transplant recepients have a worst situation because they hav
Avatar f tn After reviewing the medications I was already taking (to avoid any conflicts) she recommended Lamotrigine for my intense anxiety. I am VERY familiar with off-label drug uses, but I can find no information re: the use of this drug for my situation. It is a drug used for bi-polar disorder and seizures. I thought that Atavan would be the drug of choice, and after reading more about Lamotrigine, I have become actually quite shocked about this recommendation.
Avatar n tn Though there is a good theoretical basis for the use of arimidex on endometriosis, I believe that this is still an off-label indication for the drug and the clinical basis for its use is still from phase II clinical trials (studies with still low number of patients). Until such time that the indication of endometriosis can be demonstrated in large phase III clinical trials, the use of arimidex for endometriosis is still controversial.
Avatar n tn alinia is off label but if you like you can follow our posts and try it, it is very cheap, free of sides, no resistance issues and you can try it even if inactive because it is active against hbsag and hbeag antigens but don't expect easy seroconversion on monotherapy if hbsag is high it is also important to know your hbvdna quantity, if hbe pos or neg to predict results on alinia-Low hbsag, hbeab positive, low hbvdna quantity are good to start.
Avatar f tn Being a HBV forum, most of us know very little about Truvada except that it is prescribed off-label for HBV by some doctors, and that it is recommended for HBV patients who develop resistance to Tenofovir. So I cannot answer all your questions, especially about the safety of Truvada during pregnancy, however I am sure you can find more information on that topics, especially from experiences of HIV mothers.
Avatar f tn has anyone been prescribed Truvada? If so I would like to know how you are doing with it? and if it is helping your hepatitis b? I have stage 4 kidney disease. My hepitologist just prescribed this med. My labs were not good. He hopes to get the virus under control so I can possibly get a kidney transplant. This would be a kidney from a cadaver donator, someone who had hepatitis b. So I am about to begin my journey.
Avatar m tn Hi, if a hiv negative person is taking truvada and contracts corona virus, will they be able to fight off the corona virus? Or will taking truvada negatively affect their ability to fight off the corona virus? Is their immune system compromised while taking truvada? Or can they take truvada without any fears of being able to fight off corona virus.
Avatar m tn So the next day i went to a local clinic and they echoed that Truvada was enough. However, i pressed them to also give me isentress as well and they complied. Is truvada alone ok? If my paretner was indeed positive and not on treatment, what are my chances of being negative? I took the Truvada 16 hours post exposure and the isentress at 34 post exposure. I take the truvada at 530pm every day and the isentress at 830 am and pm. Is it ok that im not taking them at the same time?
Avatar m tn t work so easily, the immune system is blocked by overproduction of hbsag and the only thing that you can do is try interferon to lower it, but if it is very high there is nothing that you can do, the immune system stays deppressed by hbsag there is a new drug that clears hbsag in one weeks on 100% human patients that tried it and restore immune system response in 12-24 weeks, replicor rep9 ac, but it is still on human trial phase 2 so you have to wait because it is not available if you find h
100019 tn?1335919717 For genotype 1 patients who cannot take interferon, the panel recommends sofosbuvir plus the HCV protease inhibitor simeprevir (Olysio), with or without ribavirin, again for 12 weeks. This off-label regimen has not been through full Phase 3 testing, but performed very well in the Phase 2 COSMOS trial.
Avatar n tn Did your doctor prescribe it to you for this? If not, STOP right now...'experimenting' with prescription medications, which are extremely addictive can NEVER have good outcomes.
Avatar f tn They all have reported feeling better daily - this off label approach is a God Send! Now I will finish out the 12 weeks - they will do the viral load test again at that time and then 12 weeks post treatment test again to declare me officially SVR!!! NO HORRIBLE INTERFERON OR RIBAVARIN THIS TIME FOR ME!!
1635208 tn?1300807160 Hi welcome to the Hepatitis C community Olysio per the prescribing information sheet is intended to be used with interferon and Ribavirin. The same applies to Sovaldi. Per prescription they are not used together. However there have been clinical trials using them together "off label" and they have been shown to be highly effective when used together. You can web search for Cosmos clinical trial cohort 1 and cohort 2 to see study results.
Avatar f tn I then went to my family doctor and she was going to prescribe truvada plus tiviacy but she changed her mind and said the tiviacy is too toxic. So she put my on truvada alone will this even reduce my risk? I cant find anything online if it is effective or not.
Avatar m tn tenofovir, entecavir, interferon, no other durg apporved or safe, truvada will be approved soon but not necessary as firstline nitazoxanide, available as off label, active on immune system and hbsag, boosts in combo with drugs firstline but off label, only very mild sides, no resistance
Avatar f tn My doctor had me trying to wean off too quickly, so I am now using the Point of Return (Label Me Sane) protocol, which is a very slow taper of 5% per week. It also uses very good supplements to get you feeling normal before they even allow you to start the taper. The testimonials are extremely positive. Check out the Label Me Sane website if you want more information, and good luck to you. These meds are indeed terrible things.
1028452 tn?1537448484 Is neuropathic because a nerve compression or damage problem has not been found, or is cannabis like the off-label uses for pure anti-depressants? "The patient stopped complaining, so it works!" Despite the patient being too doped out to remember pains, difficulties, or otherwise have a coherant thought... Awaiting the pitchforks and torches.
Avatar m tn or other adverse events when they used or stopped using Truvada for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), according to an analysis from the iPrEx study presented at the Eighth International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention (IAS 2015) last month in Vancouver, Canada. This is a potential concern because the drugs in Truvada – tenofovir and emtricitabine – are active against HBV as well as HIV.
Avatar m tn Thanks stefano. Could you also suggest a healthy diet for my liver? Should I talk to my doctor about Alinia? Since you said it's off label, I might think she's not willing to let me try it. Also, should I use generic Alinia or brand name? And where should I get it? (online Canadian pharmacy?) I'm looking for a more affordable solution.
Avatar f tn I d keep truvada until hbvdna undetectable and then switch to viread
Avatar m tn Is the person having memory problems? If not, why are they taking it? There are lots of drugs that have "off label" uses for lots of drugs so perhaps it was prescribed for something else. The doctor can probably let you know what that is and why it's being used. I don't think it will hurt, but there are side effects in every med and it would be a good idea to check drug interactions, etc. Try Drugs.com. If you cannot speak to the patient's doc, can you call your own?
