Sick of Fuzeon Sep 4, 2006 Hi Carol, I've got to tell you I am sick of Fuzeon. Have been doing it for 3 years, and my skin tissue is a mess, the only reason I stood it so long was because it works, but I have had enough of the pain. I apologize for making a scene, but I was wondering if there is going to be an alternative to this. Can Look at another needle.... |

Response from Ms. Salisbury
 Hi, Are you aware of the bioinjector? It delivers the Fuzeon in a needleless approach with a CO2 cartridge. There are some issues with this delivery too. Common side effects are bruising and redness. There are fewer issues with nodules because the Fuzeon is dispersed under the skin more uniformly. The smaller "insulin" needles can also be used to reduce the injection site reactions. It is also important to prep the skin with massage before and after injections. Apply lotion 3 times a day to the areas you inject too this will help the skin recover from mutiple injections. Rotate the sites to the buttocks, back near your shoulder blades and love handles. Have someone help give the injections if possible. (This will give you a break). There are a number of new HIV drugs in development. The entry inhibitors work outside the T cell (like Fuzeon). There are new second generation nonnucleosides and a new class of integrase inhibitors. These are in phase 2 or 3 development. Keep the faith a little longer. Take care.
