Deadly H5N1 Bird Flu Warning










New York, NY (PRWEB) November 9, 2005

Online Pharmacy Giant Prescription.MD now offers 4 influenza drugs: Amantadine, Rimantadine, Relenza and Tamiflu which help fight certain strains of H5N1 virus infections.

The bird flu is an infection caused by avian (bird) influenza (flu) viruses and was recently discovered in Columbia, South America. This flu virus occurs naturally among birds and is very contagious. It can make some domesticated birds, including chickens, ducks, and turkeys, very sick and kill them.

The H5N1 influenza virus is a deadly strain of the flu virus spread from birds to humans. Since 2004, it has killed dozens of people in Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand, and scientists are worried that it might create a flu epidemic capable of killing millions across the world. In July Indonesia confirmed its first death from the virus, which has so far killed more than 50 people since late 2003 in Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia. Most of these cases have been from infected poultry, collimating in the culling of poultry in the infected zones.

In the UK the public is now being urged to be vigilant and report suspicious bird deaths amid fears of a deadly strain of avian flu which is feared to be spreading across Europe. The call comes after 1,870 birds died of avian flu and the European Commission imposed a ban on the import of live poultry and feathers from Turkey.

Last Month the United Nations warned that flu vaccine stockpiles may prove useless against an outbreak of the human form of bird flu. “Current vaccines may not work against whichever mutant strain triggers the pandemic that UN officials view as inevitable”, said David Nabarro, the United Nations coordinator for avian and human influenza. “During a pandemic, it could take six months before vaccine stocks are available because drug companies can’t produce an effective vaccine until the genetic makeup of the mutant strain is known.”

This is perhaps the only time since 1968, which was the last pandemic, that we are getting signs, symptoms and warnings from nature … More and more birds are dying in different parts of the world – this is the kind of signals, and early warnings that we are referring to.” said Margaret Chan, the World Health Organization’s new director for pandemic influenza preparedness.

So how can you protect yourself and your family and prepare for the oncoming virus? You should take care to use proper hygiene when handling raw fowl, washing hands, cooking the meat thoroughly, and sanitizing the countertops. You should also research more in to this virus, and if possible purchase viral medicines such as Amantadine, Rimantadine, Relenza or Tamiflu from a reputable US online pharmacy such as Prescription.MD. These antivirals are available while supplies last.

Prescription.MD is a safe, secure, private, and convenient way to get the online prescriptions you need. For more information on the online pharmacy or to find other top selling prescription drugs, such as Viagra, Cialis, Levitra, Propecia, Valtrex and Zyban, visit http://www.prescription.md.

The dosage depends on you and your out breaks. It’s typically between 500mg and 1000 one tablet take 1-2 times daily. Valtrex is totally safe to take during pregnancy no matter what the dose. It’s often prescribed to mothers during the last few weeks of their pregnancy to prevent out breaks so the mother can have a natural birth with less risk to the baby.

Best answer:

Answer by Jessica
Do an online search for acyclovir. Its very similiar to valtrex, and costs a heck of a lot less. You have to take it twice a day, instead of once, but if you can remember to do that, you’ll save a LOT of money.

The normal dose for supression on acyclovir is 400 mgs twice a day, so also think about getting the 800 mg pills and breaking them in half. You’ll save more in the long run.

Question by mdGreg C: I Saw an Ad for Valtrex the Other Day, What Accounts for the Reduction In Transmission of the HSV-?
-In a Person Taking Valtrex?
Thanks gangadharan_nair, but I Know the Mechanism of Valtrex (and Acyclovir), I Think, the Reduced Transmission is Due to Decreased Replication.
Thanks Spreed, the Carrier State of HSV is the Incorporation of Proviral DNA In the Genome of Ganglion Cells, the Production of Viral Particles is Inhibited, this Goes Back to my Koch’s Postulates Q.

Best answer:

Answer by gangadharan_nair
Valacyclovir is used to treat herpes zoster (shingles) and genital herpes. It does not cure herpes infections but decreases pain and itching, helps sores to heal, and prevents new ones from forming.
The company claims that Valtrex can reduce the number of your genital outbreaks. This is possible only if you take one tablet per day as Herpes prophylaxis. Another claim is that Vatrex reduce the risk of spreading genital herpes. They advise to adopt safer sex for the same. MedlinePlus states that condoms remain the best way to protect against catching genital herpes during sexual activity. Using a condom correctly and consistently will help prevent the spread of the disease.
Please see the web pages for more details on Valacyclovir (generic name) Valtrex (brand name).

My partner was recently diagnosed with herpes after seeing a bump on his penis. I read I could have it and test negative on blood test and if I have no outbreak there are no sores for them to take a sample of.. Can I ask for valtrex just in case I do really have it?

Best answer:

Answer by Cooker
HE needs to ask for Valtrex–or the MUCH cheaper acyclovir–if HE has it.

He can reduce the possibility of transmitting it to you to just 1% per year by:
Taking antiviral meds
Always wearing a condom
Avoiding sex during an outbreak and for 3-4 days after

As for your test, if you were recently infected, it will take 2 weeks-4 months for a herpes IgG type-specific blood test to provide you with an accurate diagnosis. It takes that long for people to develop the antibodies that show they are infected. A test around the 3 month mark AFTER exposure is pretty reliable.

Global Herpes Simplex Virus Treatment Market to Reach $ 4.8 Billion by 2017, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.











San Jose, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) April 04, 2011

Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) is a commonly found human pathogen. Globally, an estimated 4.0 billion people are infected with Herpes Virus. The incidence rate of cold sores, caused by the HSV1 virus, is the second largest worldwide, trailing only behind common cold. About 79% of the US population is infected with HSV1, with about 25-35% of the adults enduring recurrent spate of cold sores. In all, close to 100 million outbreaks of cold sores occur each year in the US. Meanwhile, Genital herpes, caused by HSV-2, is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases in the US. The rate of occurrence of genital herpes varies across different countries in developing regions. Certain African nations dealing with HIV epidemic are experiencing a high prevalence of HSV-2 infection.

Treatment-wise, there is no drug presently available in the market that can permanently cure herpes infection. However, various anti-viral therapies are available to alleviate painful symptoms of the infection. Present therapies for HSP infection include nucleoside analogs – acyclovir, and other related drugs. These drugs act by stalling the synthesis of viral DNA. Major drugs available in the market include Valtrex, Zovirax, Famvir, Abreva, Denavir, and Vistide. However, these drugs are known to cause drug related toxicity as a result of their interference with the natural metabolism of the human body. Also, with the virus subsequently developing resistance against the existing batch of anti-virals, the need for innovative therapies for the treatment of herpes simplex infection, and the search for novel antiviral drugs continues. This, therefore, presents a huge potential for the growth of herpes simplex therapeutics market in future. The introduction of HSV vaccines also presents new avenues for the treatment of HSV infection.

The HSV therapeutic market comprises drugs that are used for treating outbreaks and symptoms of herpes. These include drugs such as Acyclovir and valacyclovir, sold under Zovirax and Valtrex brands by GlaxoSmithKline. Acyclovir and valacyclovir are also available in generic variants, as the respective original drugs lost their patent protection. Promising drugs in the area of HSV treatment include Nanoviricides. These drugs have a distinct action mechanism when compared to existing drugs, which bodes the emergence of a potentially robust drug for treating HSV.

The US represents the largest regional market for Herpes Simplex Virus treatment worldwide, as stated by the new market research report on Herpes Simplex Virus Treatment. However, growth in the market would be led by US, which is projected to be the fastest growing regional market during the analysis period. Rest of World is projected to post a compounded annual growth rate of close to 6.9% during the analysis period.

Major players profiled in the report include Agenus Inc., AiCuris GmbH & Co.KG, Astellas Pharma Inc., BioVex, Clinigen Group, Cytogenix Inc., GlaxoSmithKline Plc., Lumavita AG, NanoBio Corporation, NanoViricides Inc., Novartis International AG, Sanofi-Aventis, Sinclair Pharma Plc., Starpharma Holdings Limited, Vical, Genocea Biosciences, among others.

The research report titled “Herpes Simplex Virus Treatment: A Global Strategic Business Report” announced by Global Industry Analysts Inc., provides a comprehensive review of the Herpes Simplex Virus treatment, current market trends, key growth drivers, the available treatment, overview of major drugs, insight into current leading and pipeline drugs, recent product approvals, recent industry activity, and profiles of major/niche global as well as regional market participants. The report provides annual sales estimates and projections for Herpes Simplex Virus treatment for the years 2009 through 2017 for the following geographic markets – US, Europe, and Rest of World. Also, a six-year (2003-2008) historic analysis is provided for additional perspective.
