Common Questions and Answers about Viread gilead

viread

Avatar m tn Why? Gilead loses the patent on Viread in 2017/2018. Their cash cow will have run its course and they will be more than happy to release this drug to continue to reap the money for HBV treatment. There is one thing I remember Dr. Gish telling me that I won't forget. He said "you know Gilead is working on a drug that will make it so you don't have to take Viread for ever. It's kind of odd that they'd be working on a drug that will eliminate their Viread income".
Avatar m tn they sell generics so you have to search for ingredient tenofovir or name of the generic drug and not by viread
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 m tn tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) is a prodrug of tenofovir. The 'disoproxil' is a side chain attached to the active component 'tenofovir'. Inside our body, this side chain gets cleaved off by an enzyme to release the active tenofovir. AGX-1009 has a different side chain attached to the active component 'tenofovir'. It may show higher potency and/or lower toxicity compared to Viread because of this different side chain (At least that's what Agenix is hoping for).
Avatar f tn 1%) is up on a whopping 61x surge in volume in response to its announcement of results from a third-party laboratory (in vitro) study that showed greater antiviral activity in a hepatitis B virus (HBV) cell culture for product candidate CMX157 compared to Gilead Sciences' (GILD -0.9%) tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF).
Avatar m tn In china, we can get 2 types of TDF, one is from HongKong which is imported from Gilead Science USA, the other one is from India Cipla company.None of them are legal in China currently. Would like to ask, if Tenofovir Cipla could be worse than Viread USA? Which one should I take for the rest of my life? What's your guys advice? BTW, the US one is 6 times more expensive than the India one.
Avatar m tn is there any possibility that a non European person could buy viread or taf from France, italy or any other country? because in my country Gilead doesn't allow us to use Viread for hbv (No AMM for HBV actually even 10 years after its release) also in my country interferon the first one not pegasys is still the first line then they will stop giving you medication, if relaps, Lamuvidine si the first choice... i have money to buy Viread even if its is 400 euro its not a big deal...
Avatar m tn I was told by a trustable source that Gilead will eventually stop delivering Viread and just replace it with Vemlidy. We'll see how this plays out....but in this case people insisting to stay on TDF will have to go for generics.
Avatar f tn OnCore has begun testing a medicine dubbed TKM-HBV, while ContraVir is banking on a more potent yet less toxic variant of Viread, a Gilead drug used for hepatitis B and HIV. Viread can cause kidney damage and bone loss. An early study of ContraVir’s medicine demonstrated safety and tolerability, which sets it apart from competitors, Sapirstein said. The company announced today that the U.S.
Avatar m tn In the last visit, my doctor gave me the MYACESS card (from Gilead, Viread maker). It is like a VISA card. I called the activation number, and with some simple answers, they authorized $50 per month for my Viread prescription co-pay. Information on this card indicated that they can pay up to $200 per month. Hope this info helps!
Avatar m tn The Phase 2a will enroll 60 treatment-naïve patients with chronic HBV infection to compare CMX157 to tenofovir DF (TDF, marketed by Gilead Sciences as Viread®). This portion of the study will also consist of a sequential dose escalation, with 10 patients per cohort receiving four weeks of a once-daily dose of either 5, 10, 25, 50 or 100 mg of CMX157, and two patients per cohort receiving 300 mg of TDF, the standard dose of Viread®.

Avatar m tn The European Medicines Agency (EMA) accepts for review Gilead Sciences' (GILD +0.5%) Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) seeking clearance for tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF) 25 mg for the treatment of adults with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.The company is transitioning its product line to TAF from TDF (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) (Viread) because it is just as effective at a dose less that one tenth that of TDF and is less stressful on the bones and kidneys.
Avatar m tn the drugs that clear hbv are: rep9ac, proved on human trials maybe gs9620, still to be proved on human trials long term viread and then interferon add on
Avatar f tn my doctor tell me that i can replace baraclode with viread , is that ok if any one knows please tell me
Avatar m tn the big problem is split viread pills by half, they are made so you cannot split.generics from cipla and other drug makers can be split. but this is not good because we dont know if tenofovir resistance can happen, that trial was only 1 or 2 years.
