Grapefruit and Peg?
Hi everyone I remember reading somewhere that you should avoid grapefruit if you are on Peg
Interferon
as it can interact with the drug.

7 weeks on Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)
Other interactions include alcohol, narcotic medications (Ultram, Morphine, Percocet, Tramadol, Duragesic Patch or Codeine), steroids, and
interferon
(Beta Seron, Avonex or Rebif). “LDN should probably not be taken during pregnancy.

Platelets still not reducing
I have now been on peg
interferon
for 4 months or so. First two weeks on 45 dose then 90 for two weeks and 180 every week since. Unfortunately nothing has changed apart from me being a bit more angry and a bit more down.

it has come to my attention
I changed once to
interferon
beta 1a (Rebif) but it hurt too much so I went back to 1b, Betaseron, but I did not stop. Disease Modifying Therapy (DMT) will not cure me but it will at least slow ms down a little.

Disposal of unused Pegasys Interferon
I live in the US, and am discouraged at the wastefulness that the manufacturers of Pegasys
Interferon
have shown. Each vial holds 180micrograms of medication. Without insurance, this would cost between $1100 and $1400 PER WEEK!!!

TAMARIN STUDY now open across the UK in 13 hospitals
Ruxolitinib and other treatments, such as
interferon
and Hydroxycarbamide, have helped people with MPNs, but some are unable to tolerate the side effects of these treatments, so researchers are looking for new treatment options.

Pegasus interferon and chronic sore throat
Could this be related to taking
interferon
for PV? Has anyone else suffered? Perhaps I should be talking to my haematologist? Any advice much appreciated :) x

None A none B and all of a sudden theirs C
My brilliant Consultant and special nurses got me through the trauma of being diagnosed and having to inject myself with
interferon
injections. I was advised by my medical care staff to claim compensation against the Shipton claim scheme as the NHS were aware of the problem but it was kept quiet.

Keeping Interferon cool whilst travelling
Hi all Just wondering if anyone has any tips for travelling with
Interferon
? I’m travelling to Portugal in a couple of weeks and will need to take 5 syringes - total travel time around 7 hours taking into account airport and transfer time. I was going to buy a small cool bag for hand luggage.

Useful read for MF patients on or considering Interferon/Pegasys
Lengthy piece of research and I need to try to understand certain aspects better. It discusses impact of Inf on high risk mutations plus impact of multiple mutations re progression to AML. Of interest to Steve, INF reduces high risk mutations such as ASLX1 to same level as other non Driver mutations

Useful update on Pegasys
Of interest to all of us using Interferons or considering their use. Bottom line is that a subset of users can get significant reduction in progression and remission. There are no obvious reasons why some people get such a good response and others don’t. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5421384

Pegylated Interferon available in Australia?
Can someone let me know if pegysus (pegylated
interferon
) is available in Australia? I’ve been finding conflicting information online.
