User Reviews for Avastin intravenous

fter my right eye had gone, avastin has kept my left eye near 20/20 for about 4 years. One eyeball shot every 4-5 weeks.

Had one injection (in eye). Have experienced confusion and light-headedness, plus discomfort and blurring.

Clinical study with avastin every 21 days for re-current ovarian cancer. Started treatment when on chemo now have been just on avastin since Nov. 2011. Have not really have had any side effects. No increase in BP, only minor effect is runny nose. Hope to be approved for another 6 months.

Vision has improved. Spot has gone from very cloudy to transparant. On my third year of treatment. Makes me drowsy for 8 hours after shot. One treatment caused excessive watering of the eye, but none since. Very grateful for the medicine.

THIS DRUG HAS IMPROVED MY VISION FROM ZERO TO 20/70 I TAKE A SHOT OF THIS MED IN MY EYE ONCE A MONTH... I HIGHLY RECOMMED IT TO EVERYONE.

Well the wife got her first shot today. Gave it all threes because its too new for us to rate. I honestly can not rate how effective it is or isn't yet. We are well known in the retinal surgeon's office. Now its a matter of whether its more or wife in the chair. Though I don't have Wet AMD yet, I am a vet of 8 different eye surgeries, including 3 retinal detachments and likely have glaucoma. One thing after reading these reviews I want to point out. Having been there done something like that, DO NOT LET LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ADD TO FEAR!!!! Speak up. Ask questions. Make them explain it to you again if you don't understand. YOU are just as important as anything else they have to do including their schedule. So what if they are late, just be patient when they are late because someone else needs the same consideration. In our case the wife works for a medical company and I know more eye lingo than I care to admit. lolRead More Read Less

My husband had NSClC & only had 2 treatments with Avastin & hemmorraged to death. I would not reccommend it for anyone!!! If they've stopped using it for breast cancer they should stop using it for everything.

I am a 52 yr old female w/colon cancer mets to my liver. I was on Folfox w/Avastin for 7 treatments (every 3 weeks); Onc switched me to Avastin only (every 3 weeks). I have had 4 treatments. I have headaches and some problems with my stomach but other than that, nothing worse. My CEA remains within normal range (so far btwn 1.3 - 1.6) and the MRI's show that my lesions are shrinking and the disease is stable. Onc is talking about taking me off chemo for awhile after my 8th treatment.

Been getting injections in left eye for about 2 years now. Sometimes a little painful other times don't feel at all. Keeping my condition the same so don't plan on stopping.

I have experienced pain from the injection in my left eye, but the results are very effective. I have 20/20 in that eye now after 12 injections. Drug makes me feel sluggish for about two days after.

vision seems somewhat improved, procedure a bit painful

I receive Avastin IV every 2 weeks via port. Recurring MRI scan get better and better. To God be the Glory.

In combination wit taxol I have taken avastin for the last 12 months. It prevents blood vessels from forming to cancer tumors so it is a very effective drug for me. So glad to have it

I noticed the first 2 weeks I have brain fog. Then it goes away.

I have only had 1 treatment So far no side effects. I will not know if it working for 3 more treatments, I am also getting Taxol and Carboplatin

I feel this drug has kept me alive! Have had 2 recurrences of the colon cancer, met to the liver (which it cleared up) and met to the lung.After having been on several different chemos I have been getting only the avastin for the past 3 or so years. My conditions remains stable without any changes to the spot on the lung. I am thrilled with this result! I have been lucky and never had any side effects.

DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION IF YOU HAVE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE! My mother received two doses 7 months apart and had spikes in blood pressure both times. It has taken 3 days in the hospital to try to get her blood pressure back to within somewhat normal range. The second time her BP reached 250/125 and they thought she was having a stroke.
