viread

Avatar f tn You don't have to give up your baby, viread is safe for pregnancy according to my doc. I'm currently 18 wks preggo and will start viread after 24th wk. I will continue to take viread after the baby and I want another baby after this one. I asked my doc should I stop taking viread if i'm pregnant again? He said if I stop the virus might flare up even higher so I should continue to take viread even if i do get pregnant again.
1191262 tn?1366763021 I am taking Viread as well. Is it okay to take it during pregnancy? If so, did you start in the first trimester or later? Also, is it safe to take while breastfeeding? I know it's not a good idea to stop medication and that's why I'm wondering about Viread and pregnancy and breastfeeding.
1191262 tn?1366763021 Dr said it was ok to get pregnant and that Viread is a Category B drug which is safe during pregnancy. It has also been safely used by many HIV women since years. I gave birth to my baby boy on December 16 2010 and and baby is doing just fine. If some of you ladies are on Tnf treatment, it is ok to get pregnant when you take Tenofovir. By the way, I never missed a pill since I started the treatment and during all my pregnancy.
Avatar m tn Yes, Viread is considered to be safe for women during pregnancy. What I like to know is whether it is also okay for men to take Viread when they also want to father a child.
1303524 tn?1323140356 I understand how you feel...I feel the same right now and would like to stop Viread especially that I haven't been told that I can not stop it after...I hate taking this pill every morning knowing that there might be risks for baby inside...I have hope that after delivery I will treat with Viread + Alinia and stop both of them. Alinia seems to be giving more fast results and seroconversion on HBV. Yes, you can not stop Viread (Tenofovir) because there are risks of flares.

Avatar m tn HBV DNA,QN, PCR (IU/mL) ==== 12421 IU/ml HBV DNA,QN, PCR (copies/mL) ==== 72290 copies/mL She went to see a specialist and she was given prescription for Viread. She is worried about taking it now. Should she start the Viread after delivery or now?
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 f tn viread is taken to have babies and dont infect them with hbv, you dont have to stop it on the contrary women not taking viread have to start it if they get pregnant with high hbvdna you can take viread during all pregnancy and also for breastfeeding, it makes no harm to the baby, many members here took it with no troubles as to liver damage, most patients have no liver damage from hbv only those with a stronger immune system/hbv specific mutations have damage from hbv if you want to stop it
Avatar m tn Also, how do they decide if you should be on viread tablets or on the injection (peginterferon)? If your on viread do you have to take it for life? And if you take the peginterferon injection then after one year if hbv dna is undetected can you stop taking all medication? Finally, is the coast of viread tabs close to a 1000dollars a month? Thats damn expensive.
Avatar m tn Stefano and others, thanks for your help. As I posted before, 2 of my relatives are currently undergoing Hepsera monotherapy. I went to a new doctor for a second opinion and the Hepsera-prescribing current doctor for an explanation of treatment choice. The first doctor agreed that Baraclude and Viread are to be dispensed per current AASLD guidelines but, once you've started with Hepsera, there is no need to change. He felt that the resisitance rate for Hepsera (vs.
Avatar f tn ve done some research on Viread and it seems reasonable safe for pregnancy and my dr. Says that little traces are detected in the breast milk. My concern is the kidneys since that is one of the side effect. Can anyone even healthy person have complications with their kidneys? I'm due in two months and would like to see if I can avoid antivirals or is it useless to wait? And if I do go on viread, can I stop after delivery or when my levels are back to normal range?
Avatar f tn No don't stop viread and wait for a couple of month till taf arrives completely in market and then switch to it as is renosafe. Stopping viread will flush ur 8 years of virus control and chances to lose hbsag in future may go in vane.
Avatar m tn yhi i'm on combo viread + interferon i'm 27 yo and still eag+..
Avatar n tn you should take viread+interferon like other members in the forum, chances to clear hbv once and for all are 24% at 48 weeks.
Avatar f tn Renal impairment, including cases of acute renal failure and Fanconi syndrome (renal tubular injury with severe hypophosphatemia), has been reported with the use of VIREAD [See ADVERSE REACTIONS]. It is recommended that creatinine clearance be calculated in all patients prior to initiating therapy and as clinically appropriate during therapy with VIREAD. Routine monitoring of calculated creatinine clearance and serum phosphorus should be performed in patients at risk for renal impairment.
Avatar m tn viread is more realiable than generic tenofovir right? do you know any online site/store where viread is sold and guaranted to be delivered to you?
Avatar m tn I also started on Viread in March 2011. Before taking Viread i had absolutely no symptoms. Upon resuming viread i started experiencing the same symptoms as you have. I checked out the viread site to see if these symptoms were normal and from what i read they seemed to be quite usual and covered in the broad range of possible symptoms experienced by patients while taking viread. However i would like to hear any contrary opinions if anyone has any.
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 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.
