Prove trials and weight
by dmhrdh, Oct 27, 2007 10:44AM
The last time I treated with SOC for just over 3 mos. and lost 15 lbs. I was thrilled! Back in my favorite jeans!!
During the Prove 3 trial we were instructed to take our doses with a 300-500 calorie meal, 30% of that being fat!! We dosed the Telaprevir 3 times a day.
In my case, if I tried to take my doses with something lighter I paid for it and quickly learned the higher the fat content, the less gastro problems I had.
During my 6 mos. of taking the Telaprevir I gained up to 10 lbs. at one point! Even with all the nausea and vomiting I had. Now that I've been off the Telaprevir for a couple weeks I have already lost 6 lbs. :-) Whew!
Were others in earlier Prove trials also instructed to take your doses with high calorie/fat meals?
I'm curious if anyone else in the Prove trials gained weight on the Telaprevir??
