1/2 life

[mrvacation]

Is there anything you can do to increase 1/2 life.

i hear taking ribavirin with a source of fat helps the absorption, many would agree with this statement.  however, not sure if this has much of an effect on the half life of ribavirin and thus the Interferon.

Now this is just a guess. Not sure if this will speed things up or not. Made me feel better, and probably couldn't hurt as long as you don't over do it.

Eat good nutritional meals, and plenty of fluids. And then more water. If your Dr allows cardio exercise for you, exercise regularly to get your heart rate high so as to pump fresh blood to fully saturate all corners of your body,
The more fluids, food, blood, you flush/pump thru you, the better chance to flush and or expel the meds faster.
And then, more water.

Sorry but no. In fact people with liver disease often have a longer than normal 1/2 life to the drugs they take due to liver damage. They often need lower doses and longer duration between dosing so as not to get too much of the meds.

I mean decrease 1/2 life. Get meds out of body faster. Can you do anything?
