Guest guest Posted February 14, 2001 Report Share Posted February 14, 2001 Depo Provera is an approved drug for birth control. And yes for long-term use. There can be many side-effects for some women, weight gain and irregular periods the most common. The majority of women stop bleeding all together after 1 year of use. I didn't make it that far because my bleeding just got worse and worse on it. Some women here, however have gone years without bleeding on Depo. I think it just varies. (As a side note, I lost 7 pounds on it--go figure). Anyway, it's not a treatment for fibroids, some just use it as their birth control method to try and control bleeding.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2002 Report Share Posted March 4, 2002 Did anyone see this article? I know this group isn't about alcohol cirrohsis, but read on, and it speaks of chronic liver diseases. Anyone have an opinion on this? Maxim Says Drug Can Stop Liver Damage From Alcohol Reuters Mar 4 2002 11:54AM STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - U.S.-Swedish biotech Maxim Pharmaceuticals said on Monday an animal study showed that its drug Ceplene could completely reverse damage to the liver caused by alcohol. Pre-clinical testing showed that rats injected with ethanol and the company's drug Ceplene sustained no liver damage, while rats given only ethanol developed symptoms related to alcohol abuse, the company said. "We've shown we could completely reverse the damage made by the alcohol," Maxim Chief Scientific Officer Kurt Gehlsen told analysts at a meeting in Stockholm. Maxim expects clinical testing of Ceplene against alcoholic liver disease and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis to start this year. Any drug must go through three different phases of clinical trials, which typically take several years, before being approved for sale to the public. In the United States one out of 10 people suffer from chronic liver diseases such as cirrhosis and fatty liver, Maxim said. Ceplene, with the scientific name histamine dihydrochloride, is also in clinical trials for use against hepatitis C and different forms of cancer. "Hepatitis C is a two billion dollar market, but this is way bigger ... I have to say we are pretty enthusiastic for the prospects of Ceplene against chronic liver diseases," Maxim Chief Executive Larry Stambaugh said. The company's shares rose 3.7 percent to $5.94 in early U.S. trading, while they gained 3.3 percent to $5.99 in Stockholm on Monday. The company would not disclose any further details of the animal study, which will be presented at the EASL conference for liver studies in Madrid starting April 18. In late 2000, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration rejected Maxim's application to market Ceplene, then called Maxamine, for treatment of skin cancer. The company's shares then plunged 92 percent from levels above $60 in late 2000 to a low of $5.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2002 Report Share Posted March 5, 2002 , Thanks for the article about Ceplene! Fixing one problem can often lead to learning enough to fix other problems, or even fix other problems. I don't think one can put total boundaries around remedies; the science is too complex.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 ello, I used to specialize in bariatric nutrition. For patients who still desire additional weight loss, they should be consuming ~800 calories. Most of these patients take a high dosage of a MVI (double the adult dosage of what is on the label) and substitute in protein supplements to be sure to obtain a minimum of 70 gm-90 gm of protein per day. Patients are often told to consume no more than 4-6 ounces per meal, times 3 meals. Snacking is not allowed, especially if they are still working on losing additional weight. You can make her goal be 800 calories or less per day, a minimum of 70 gm protein per day and a minimum of 64 ounces of fluid per day. Let me know if you need any additional information re: post bariatric patients. Have a great weekend.
