286124 tn?1214938528 Hello everyone: I have a question. I am taking Loratabs and I want off. I also smoke and have gotten a perscription for Chantix. It is supposed to help me stop smoking. It releases dopamine slowly in your body to help you fight your cravings. My question is this: can Chantix also help with coming off of these pills? any advice will be very appreciated. I will post again to tell my story. I'm at work and wanted to ask real quick! thanks again!
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 You are talking about Chantix (Varenicline tartrate) that should be available worldwide. If not, ask your doctor for other suggestion for quitting smoking.
Avatar f tn Hello, Chantix (varenicline) and Zyban (bupropion) are the only two non-nicotine medications approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for smoking cessation; both are available in pill form and only by prescription. Chantix received FDA approval in 2006; Zyban was approved in 1997. These drugs can be effective tools, but users need to be aware of some potentially serious side effects. You can try that and they are very cheap in some pharmacy's.
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 f tn Has anyone been approved for Olysio and Sovaldi off label and on Medicare? I failed traditional interferon/ribavirin, have fibrosis stage 2, and waiting for approval.
683231 tn?1467323017 My Dr is asking my insurance for pre approval for Solvaldi Olysio off label. Originally she said a week or so but now says could be 3 or 4 weeks till we hear. I am wondering how long it has taken others from when their Dr asked for the off label usage before they were approved.
Avatar n tn Are there any off label drugs which can be useful for herpes? I have read therapy with Tagamet and zinc may have some benefit but I cant find any good information on that to show my doctor. Also what about globulin or interfereon injections ? Are there other immune modulating drugs or treatments that can boost my t-cells against this virus to keep it down? Is there a type of doctor who may know more about this than my PCP ? Have you ever encountered this before in a healthy person?
Avatar f tn Grammy, I remember you saying your doc was prescribing off label for all his patients. Do you have any idea what reasons he is giving to insurance....as in key words or arguments he has to support the off label. Hope that makes sense. So tired and it's been a frustrating day. Again, so very happy for your success! Can you spell CURED?
996769 tn?1249681013 here's an example of a label that says do not use if you have --- thyroid disease Caution: Do not use BreastSuccess if you are pregnant, nursing, or have any of the following conditions: high blood pressure, heart disease, thyroid disease, glaucoma, diabetes, difficulty urinating due to prostate enlargement, or if you are now taking a prescription monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) (certain drugs for depression, psychiatric or emotional conditions, or Parkinson's disease), or for two (2
Avatar n tn I would seek his Doctors help on this. Yes there is no smoke with harmful particles using electric cigarettes, but you still receive Nicotine. This chemical hits the Brain in less than 10 seconds and starts all kinds of chemical reactions. Heart rates increases, blood pressure increases, sugars are released into the blood to name but a few. I think his Doctor would need to help with the addiction. There are 2 types of addiction.
Avatar f tn My Off label is just taking 2 pills each day - 1 is Olysio and 1 is Sovaldi. That is it- nothing else. 12 weeks ONLY!!! Remember I am 1b with cirrhosis and 61 years old. Thank you for your kind words and I hope you can get on this combo also if your doctor thinks it might work for you too. HUGS!!
Avatar m tn My guess is that they are having label issues. They might get an approval with a limited label, followed by a label modification in the near future. Just a guess though.
739988 tn?1386672969 ve personally used it but it is in clinical practice as an anti-cholesterol agent used off label as a mood stabilizer in the United States. Remember technically a doctor can prescribe any medication for other purposes but usually a trained psychopharmocologist would be the one to know about FDA approved medications in use experimentally for other purposes. Your doctor could prescribe it for anti-cholesterol use of course.
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.
518798 tn?1295212279 When I am stuck at home, I tend to do alot of web surfing. I ran across this site where a pharmacist was complaining about the problems he had a work. Someone asked him what they did with the scripts that people had filled but didn't pick up. He was complaining and said that he lost money on these patients because get this: 1. the pharmacist salary to fill the script. 2. the cost for the bottle and label.
Avatar f tn Former President Jimmy Carter's extraordinary announcement that he is cancer-free surprised me in the most pleasant way. The key word is “surprised” because, even though I'm delighted for Carter and his family, I had feared we'd read his obituary in coming months. Carter, 91, announced this summer that he has a dangerous form of melanoma that spread to his brain and his liver.
Avatar f tn noo all though i did once and boy my bd almost chopped off my head i was sitting there wondering why he got mad he then showed my the label that pregnant ladys arent allowed to take it goshh the rest of the night i just felt bad about no reading the label now im a label reader to everything i drink and eat
Avatar m tn off label use of a medication is something you and your provider need to discuss. it might not be paid for by your insurance if you are using it for an off label use - just a fyi.
