Avatar m tn The number of episodes per person-year did not differ significantly for standard-dose valaciclovir (22·6) versus high-dose aciclovir (20·2; p=0·54), and standard-dose valaciclovir (14·9) versus high-dose valaciclovir (16·5; p=0·34), but did for no medication (28·7) and standard-dose aciclovir (10·0; p=0·001). . . 80% of episodes were subclinical in all study groups.
Avatar f tn he was prescribed aciclovir and valaciclovir both at 200mg every 8 hours for 30 days. From what I have read so far it seems that it is usually one or the other not both. He was able to obtain the aciclovir but not able to find valaciclovir anywhere in Cuba at this time...should the one be enough for the first outbreak...and perhaps controlling any future outbreaks should he use the valaciclovir??

Avatar n tn On a physical exam he diagnosed genital herpes and took a swab (results still awaited). The doctor also put me on Valaciclovir tablets twice daily for 5 days. When I showed the doctor I did notice that there is a like a single yellow blister, although it is generally reddish and that immediate area was slightly painful.
Avatar m tn Orlistat has been a big hit for both Glaxo and Roche, which reported $123 million and $472 million in sales of the drug last year, respectively. A Glaxo representative denied that the drug was responsible for the cases of liver damage, noting that the overweight are already at risk for liver disorders.
Avatar n tn do not think think there is a current therapy for low platelets but Glaxo Smith Kline has a drug called eltrombopag in trials and they just recieved a fast track review status from the FDA. Glaxo may be able to give better guidance on a rough time estimate for when it may be available and you could discuss it with your doctor and decide whether to wait or operate. There are a number of people on this site with low platelets. How low are your numbers?
Avatar m tn The doctor gave me an injection of phosphonic acid potassium sodium for 7 days,and ate valaciclovir hydrochloride for 1 month,and used a-interferon . I respectively took the blood test on October 10th, November 18th and December 16th in the same hospital with T-reagent ,the results was the same as igg-1 positive,igm-1 negative,igg-2 negative,igm-2 negative.
Avatar m tn weak results compared to glaxo drug
Avatar m tn A newer agent called Anoro by Glaxo seems to help even though it is more of a COPD adjunct medicine. Do some homework on the new IL-5 inhibitors for asthma that should hit the market in the next year or two. Both are finishing Phase III trails (one by Teva and one by Glaxo) and will likely be a great step forward in lessening your overall asthma/fungal problems. You might also want to do some homework on allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM).
Avatar f tn Has anybody really benefited from natural herbs? I dont want to be a test subject anymore having done that twice with glaxo smith kline. I am 49 years old and feel like I´ve aged 20 in the last 2. I.
Avatar n tn Went to doctors, he gave me Doxycycline + Valaciclovir + cream to put on wound - Tuesday/Wednesday (same week): foreskin wound starts to heal. - Thursday (same week): clear sign of healing - Friday (same week): looks almost healed with pink/reddish new skin (shines when light on it) but a yellow tip (very small) that looks like pus (but no fluid) at the very centre. NO OTHER SYMPTOMS: no itch, no tingling, no pain, no other sore/blisters Should I get tested for STDs??
Avatar f tn I would stop taking the valaciclovir. If you are uncomfortable with this approach then I suggest you get ONE more test. I predict it will be negative and when it is, then stop the valaciclovir. Sorry to hear you are going through this. I hope my comments are helpful.
Avatar f tn I took valaciclovir during my first trimester of pregnancy (around 10 weeks) for a cold sore. I took the medication for 3 consecutive days. I read online that the medication is considered a class B drug and has no increased risk for birth defects. I am a bit worried now and wanted a second opinion.
1435203 tn?1307111807 I am on constant watch on the dev't of this drug. With the support of Gilead and Glaxo on this study, it's not far that this drug probably is the long waited cure for HepB patients.
Avatar f tn your results are so good that it makes no difference to yor liver if you have it or not and you dont need antiviral, hbv cure is on trial now (see post below about glaxo), you may try to get on that trial or wait until is finished and et cured.
Avatar n tn I was given 500mg Azithromycin which appeared to clear symptons (discomfort when passing stools, mucus discharge, gas) within 48hours. I also took Doxycycline and Valaciclovir for around 10 days as a precaution until I was cleared of Chlamyda and herpes. In the last two days I have felt some discomfort inside my anus again, and today I noticed more mucus was still on my stool. Could this still be my body healing from the infection, or could it be back/something else?
Avatar f tn s dr in indonesia abt the brand he gave in 2months vaccine for DTP and Hib to my son he said GLAXO SMITH KLINE INFANRIX HIB. In india i asked for this brand they said we can give that as well. In india they give PENTAXIM for DTP-HIB combined vaccine.
Avatar n tn There has been investigations and lawsuits. The following is a recent development: On Feb. 22nd, 2010, the United States Senate finance committee condemned GlaxoSmithKline's practices as deceptive and concluded that the drug company knew that the drug had the potential for serious and harmful effects on the human heart.
Avatar m tn When I developed gynecomastia (which is minor and I ignore) I lowered the dose of AVODART to one twice a week which is 8/month (from 15/month). AVODART has a long half life. Will 8/month still work? I wrote to GLaxo who make Avodart and they said what you said "ask your physician". My physician is very busy and I don't want to waste his time. My next appointment is in June and I will ask at that time if I don't have an answer by then.
Avatar n tn So the immediate Valtrex (Valaciclovir) consumption was my lame attempt to fix a dumb error, but while on my walk home I started thinking about what I could have picked up and I figured that I'd hate myself later even more if I walked passed the pharmacy and didn't start a regimen of Valtrex just in case it actually did something. Hell if I have the virus, at least I won't get huge lesions this week or the next.
Avatar m tn glaxo GSK3228836 is obviously the first hbv cure on large trials now available, those having 3logs hbsag and under long term nucs get cured fast by 4weeks drug use without any major side effects this time the drug will be used for 48weeks so much more cure rates and maybe side effects too.
Avatar n tn That same day, I noticed a cold sore coming on. I have a prescription for Valaciclovir but only had one pill remaining. I took it and the cold sore never appeared. The rash down there did not get any better. I have heard that most people often confuse herpes for razor burn. Could I be having outbreaks and mistaking it for razor burn?
Avatar f tn This drug should only be taken if all else has failed. It has a stronger affinity for choline and serotonin receptors than other drugs and is therefore very very hard to stop taking, and because it's so strong if you do have to stop taking it for any reason other drugs might then now work. That's common with this drug. The manufacturer, Glaxo-Smith-Kline has been sued to the gills over this drug and the victims are everywhere.
