Question 1

yes do you know if that new product called genostim is for real or is this another scam?

Accepted Answer

Contains amino acids: Like most other purported immune boosters containing amino acids, this one provides no advantage over a healthy diet containing adequate amounts of protein. Claims of efficacy are not supported by peer-reviewed scientific studies. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!.

Question 2

how long should i use genoptic?

Accepted Answer

Usually 4-7 days: Genoptic is an inexpensive, comfortable and generally very effective antibiotic for the eye.  If the infection does not clear in 4-7 days, then something else is going on or there is resistance to gentamicin.  Go back to your ophthalmolgist if this happens for further diagnosis and treatment.

Question 3

is it taking serostim (human growth hormone) 6mg hgh effective?

Accepted Answer

NO: Unless you have growth hormone deficiency. See an endocrinologist to have this checked.

Question 4

effectiveness of cervadil vs pitocin (oxytocin) induction?

Accepted Answer

Depends on cervix: Before induction your current cervical exam is used as a determinant for which mode of induction.  Cervidil is most likely used when the cervix is less soft, dilated, and effaced (thinned out), and more posterior, as it increases prostaglandins release to stimulate dilation, thinning and softening.  Those who are already dilated and effaced benefit more from pitocin (oxytocin).

Question 5

what is cimzia (certolizumab pegol) injections used for?

Accepted Answer

Cimzia (certolizumab pegol): Certolizumab, a biological drug,  very expensive, used to treat some auto-immune diseases in selected cases

Question 6

pregnenolone and aromatase blocker uses?

Accepted Answer

Specific & limited: Pregnenolone is an adrenal hormone made from cholesterol, and is the pre-cursor for sex-steroid hormones. It is said to 'improve mood, ' but no strong data support. To my knowledge there is no role for it's use as a supplement. Aromatase inhibitors are for treatment of some breast cancers; they're also used off-label for ovulation induction in women. No other appropriate uses to my knowledge.

Question 7

is amyone familar with fuzeon (enfuvirtide) 90 mg 60 vials injection kit?

Accepted Answer

Yes: I have prescribed Fuzeon (enfuvirtide) for patients with highly resistant hiv. I have thought about using it for certain patients who had other complications, but it is difficult to use and requires committment.

Question 8

recombinant human growth hormonerhgh) is one solution for  achondroplasia treatment?

Accepted Answer

Short term effects: Some studies conclude that gh might be benefcial in the treatment of short stature in children with
achondroplasia in the first 2 years of treatment.

Question 9

can patient undergo ovulation induction using gonal f (follitropin alfa) while using hrt mainly femoston 2/10 mg?

Accepted Answer

Doesn't make sense: In most cases this would not make much sense, although it could depend on 'why' and 'how' the hrt was being used. Estrogens such as in hrt are sometimes used in stimulation protocols with gonadotropins (such as gonal f, (follitropin alfa) ) an oral progestin would be an unlikely element of most protocols.

Question 10

what is adoptive t-cell therapy?

Accepted Answer

Delivery of T cells: Adoptive T cell therapy is a form of immunotherapy for malignancy that  involves isolation and ex vivo expansion of tumor specific T cells to deliver a  greater number of T cells to the tumor  than by vaccination alone.  These  tumor specific T cells are infused into patients with cancer in an attempt to give their immune system the ability to overwhelm remaining tumor.. Tumor infiltrating lymphocytes or TIL have been used by isolating and expanding one particular T cell or clone have been engineered to potently recognize and attack tumors with minimal effect. It is now being recognized that IgG1’s can be more effective than TIL thru ADCC.
