Dear Group:
I am new to this site, though not at all new to MedHelp on many other sites. So, Hello!
I have a dear friend who has been taking interferon w/ribavirin for the last month. I know, and I apologize for the fact that I have found out that there are sub-groups, such as alfa-2a, alfa-2b, etc. I will find out which from him later.
My query for all of you who I am sure are experts by now, is that he has been put on two new meds just this Friday. He spelled them out for me and I cannot find them listed anywhere.
This is what he gave me: Neupogen is a new med for him, also Procrit is another new med for him.
Obviously I have gotten some spellings incorrect.
What I want to do is look up these meds and make a document for him that is easier to read regarding side effects, etc. But, this is not possible until I find someone who knows how to spell these meds, and/or maybe knows something about their side effects personally.
Would someone out there please help me with this? I would be so very, very grateful, as my friend does not ever get on the internet and I don't want to bother him again today about "what were those meds again."
Please, somebody out there surely knows which meds I'm speaking of and exactly how to spell them properly. Also, any information any of you have about how you may be faring one these meds would be fantastic.
I really do appreciate any information and help any of you could/would provide me with.
Thank you so very much,
Suda
