viread

Avatar m tn It is 72 hours post-exposure for me right now and I took the triple therapy that I have-- Epivir, Viread, and AZT. I took a dose of Epivir and Viread at 42 hours and then decided I was being paranoid he didn't use a condom [since I only have his word] but read your post and got nervous, so I took a dose of Epivir and Viread late by 6 hours. I started the AZT for the first time at about 72 hours.
Avatar m tn Kaletra and Viread are indeed HIV medications. Kaletra is only used for HIV but Viread is also approved for use with Hepatitis.
Avatar f tn a little higher than normal(lower than 80), the new normal alt level is 19 for women from 2009, 80 is by far abnormal active DNA detected why did you stop viread without any knowledge of your drug and illness, viread is safe for the baby, restart it immediately also to protect baby from hbv there are other pregnant women taking viread here and since viread is also used on hiv the number of babies borne while taking viread is very very high and no problems at all restart viread as soon as poss
Avatar f tn Actually if you can check information about VIREAD it can also helps those people who have HIV Positive. For more information you may contact me at 09175752692.
Avatar f tn I have been reading more and found much on HIV. When HIV has low body weight (less than 60kg or about 130 lbs) they found higher kidney damage and found lowering Viread dose helps in this population. Is this transferable to HBV? I am low body weight at 115 lbs (eat healthy and exercise). I am worried about kidney damage as my age increases (now 41), with low body weight, and knowing this medication is long term/for life. How common is kidney damage on HBV only?
Avatar m tn Fingering and then touched my penis while applying desensitizing gel then slipped on condom. Finished with condom on. Is this high risk ? Was already on viread for HBV (carrier). Does this protect me ? Freaking out !!!!
Avatar f tn There are no data to recommend use of VIREAD tablets 150, 200 or 250 mg or VIREAD oral powder in patients with renal impairment. No dose adjustment of VIREAD tablets 300 mg is necessary for patients with mild renal impairment (creatinine clearance 50–80 mL/min). Routine monitoring of calculated creatinine clearance and serum phosphorus should be performed in patients with mild renal impairment [See Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]. 5.
Avatar m tn My doctor suggests me to take viread, fortunately cost of 30 tablets viread is around 40 euro and free for HIV patient on Indonesia. Viread is new for my doctor because on last February he asked me to take sebivo. My guess, many doctors decide to give drug to hep B patient as per approving from his institution/(after collective decision). Sometime agree to say “you go to doctor it same you go to junk food”.
Avatar f tn CMX157, a novel lipid acyclic nucleoside phosphonate, “is up to 60-fold more active against HBV and more than 200-fold more active against all major HIV subtypes in vitro” compared with Viread (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate [DF], Gilead Sciences), according to the release. In a phase 1 clinical trial among healthy volunteers, CMX157 showed a favorable safety, tolerability and drug distribution profile.
Avatar f tn On the other hand, it is generally considered safe for mothers on Viread to breakfeed - concentration of Viread in breast milk is minimal and experiences from HIV mothers on Viread indicated no significant side effects on baby. So it may be an option to delay switching until breastfeeding is over. Just my understanding.
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 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 1. Should I take VIREAD immediately as suggested by my primary care doctor? And why? 2. Will VIREAD change my life style, i.e. make me exercise less, no more hiking / skiing trip? 3. Am I correct that I will take VIREAD for life? 4. When will VIREAD develop resistance? Any known data / study on this? 5. What is the life expectancy can I expect? Thank you again for sharing your information. God Bless.
Avatar f tn Hello, I don't know where you get your info. Section 2.1 of manufacturer's printed information leaflet from inside pack says "The dose is one 300 mg Viread tablet once daily taken orally, without regard to food". I started taking Viread last night.
Avatar m tn of course
Avatar m tn As GS-7340 is more efficacious than tenofovir do you think that by its approval(hope soon as studies are underway in Hiv patients) will lead to the approval of this drug for Hepatitis B and are we expecting more hbv seroconversions(used in combo or mono)? Waiting for any answers.
Avatar m tn The active drug for HBV is Viread and I think the FDA recently approved the new HIV cocktail with TAF, which is still Viread but a lower dosage that has less toxicity. With HBV, you still need to monitor your liver by ultrasound or better yet Fibroscan about every 6 months. There is at this point no cure for either, but with medication HIV shouldn't shorten your life and with monitoring HBV you should catch anything early.
Avatar f tn My husband is currently taking Viread for HepB and his doctor told us that there is a 5-6% chance of birth defects if I become pregnant. Has anyone heard this before? I see that women who are the ones taking the med take it while pregnant so I'm a bit confused/hopeful.
Avatar m tn From what I have read, these medications are at a reduced price, for the vast number of people using them also for HIV aswell as HBV. Is this something a lot of people do? Is the process simple?
Avatar m tn i actually forgot to mention that initially (before viread), he was on entecavir in the morning. but then later viread was added in the evening. i think once he is discharged, they will stick with just viread only. so far, this is my understanding. the doctors provided some level of reassurance, by saying that his liver enzymes did rise high, and peak (which is what they said they wanted), and is now on its way back down. would this be a reason to stop drug therapy?
