Do you recommend the truvada over the viread or baraclude? If while being switched from Hepsera to truvada is there a risk that the Hep B could become active? Also , the Hepatitis B DNA is currently undetectable and the Hep B Surface AG is currently negative (both prior to transplant as well as post transplant, so far ) what are the chances that the Hep B could become active again once the Hbig infusions are stopped? Thank you.
I had very bad side effects like dizziness , nausea, vomiting and also stomach problems. Sometime, I couldn't wake up. I am so weak. By the way, I have Viread( Tenofovir ) 123 mg expired date 1.201,anyone who wants it I will post it. I didn't use it anymore so I can post it free. I also have Tenofovir 245 mg but it is expired 8.2013 so may be it is not good anymore. I used it both of the only 3 tabts each and I stopped.
Since Truvada is also meant for HIV patitents as well. Why not just use Viread ? My Dr. answered me Truvada is more safer to use at this pregnancy stage. Though i found online both Truvada and Viread have been categorized B level for pregnant women.
2) What confuses me further, Truvada is not even approved by FDA for HIB treatment?
3) This makes me crazy, that I've to take Truvada for lifetime, what if I've to be pregnant again?
My doctor suggests that I participate in the drug trial of Tenefovir (Viread) versus Tenofovir in combination with Emtricitibine (Truvada). I have chronic Hepatitis B and Lamivudine resistance last year. He gave me a document to read and I did a bit of research on internet on the side effect. My concern is the side effect especially on Kidney. Could you give me some advice if I should participate in the drug trial or stay with my current medicine Hepsera.
That is a good point. I am just telling you what I was told by the people that take it. That it is much easier to tolerate the medication taken in one pill rather then taking multiple pills of these individual compounds during the day.
So i've been on tenofivor(viread) for about 8months now. I've experienced most of the side effects listed. Recently i've been experiencing a pain from my upper left chest throughout my arm. Mostly at night, then during the day I feel a tingly feeling throughout my body. The last time I had my tests done I was at 70 hbvdna. Of course its not the best test because the American health care system blows. But I've heard we are now getting fibrosis scans and hbsag quanitity scans.
the pain you are having around your rib cage was something i also experienced at the onset of starting TNF, but was gone after about 6 months, and not back ever since for almost 4 years on.
I have come to realise its due to fatty liver. Get rid of that and you wont experience that no more.
Diet helps,and also vitamin d.
I was advised to go on Viread while pregnant and I had major concerns about the side effects of Viread. Now Not pregnant and my hep doctor says that I can go on enteclavir since it does not have the kidney toxicity concern. Mid anyone on enteclavir and have any side effects. Also am nursing, is it safe for baby? Doctor says enteclavir is very safe to take.
Tenofovir (Viread, also in the Truvada, Atripla, Complera, and Stribild coformulations) is among the most widely used antiretroviral drugs, as it is highly effective and generally regarded as safe and well-tolerated. However, it can cause kidney toxicity in susceptible individuals and is associated with bone loss that begins soon after starting treatment.
I am not sure how many variants of tenofirvior out there, I took truvada once, market for patient with co-infected hiv/hbv, it in like little triangle or pear shape, but not round like pear, And I also took viread 300mg, long rectangle cylinder shape
No,not for such a short period like that.
