Q

What drug can be used to treat chronic Hep B and Chronic Hep C?

Study These Flashcards
A

PEG IFN Alfa-2a

  1. Chronic HCV-> with compensated liver not previously treated with interferion alfa and history evidence of cirrhosis and compensated liver disease
  2. Chronic HBV-> compensated liver disease, evidence fo viral replication and liver inflammation

20
Q

When should PEG Interferion Alfa 2b not be used for Hep C?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. BB warns: cause/aggravate neuropsychiatric, autoimmune. ischemic, and infectious disorders
  2. Don’t use with hypersensitivity to INF alpha
  3. Don’t used with autoimmune hepatitis
  4. don’t used with decompensated liver disease
21
Q

What is the goal of Hep C treatment?

Study These Flashcards

33
I am taking amiodarone and now have potentiated bradycardia after taking a new drug!! What did I take??? Who else might have issues with this drug??
1. Velpatasivir/Sofosbuvir potentiates Brady cardia with amiodarone 2. Be carful in giving velparasivir/sofosbuvir to patients on beta blockers, those with underlying cardiac comorbidites, or advanced liver disease
34
When could velpatasvir/sofosbuvir have decreased concentrations?
In combo with PGP inducer or CYP inducers (rifampin, St. Johns wort, carbamazepine)
