Yeah, it's my understanding that it needs to get to the tissue in the
back of the throat for absorption there...
Will have to look at the laser treatments, haven't read that.

Of course, you could always make your own and have a lifetime supply

I would disagree with one statement made on Tally's site, she says
you can mix the interferon with food. I had always heard that the
interferon is absorbed through the mucous membranes and once it got
to the stomach it was useless. Island said not to freeze the final
dilution and it appears Tally did that with no problem. It may be
that Island Pharmacy just didn't want you to be able to keep it more
than 90 days. If you were using the 7 on, 7 off protocol, a 90 day
supply would last 180 days if you froze the extra.
I thought the info in the lasaer treatments was very interesting.

Thanks, Gary! I looked at the Franck web site, not a great web
site I might add, very disappointing. No link for veterinary
products, none for interferon that I could find. I went to
IslandPharmacy.com, and no interferon. Too bad they aren't
available any longer.
For those interested, Tally was on this group a few years ago and
still has some information on interferon and FELV on her web
site. You can check it out at http://www.tallyville.com/stomatitis.html

Island Pharmacy was bought out by Franck's Pharmacy some time ago
and I heard then that Franck's would be doing the interferon,
they are in Ocala, FL. You could call Island and ask them, maybe
it was just temporary.
Franck's website is www.francks.com.

So Island doesn't sell it anymore?
There's also 3 on 3 off protocol. I used to do daily tho.

According to Island Pharmacy - they use to compound a lot of
interferon, but no longer do it - it was not recommended to
freeze the final dilution of interferon, just keep it in the
fridge, they always said it was good for 90 days that way. The
dosage for cats is 30 IU a day. The compound you have is made
to have 1 ml equal 60 IU, so to get the correct daily dosage
of 30 IU, you would use only . 5 ml. Whether you use a
protocol with a daily dosage, or the 7 on 7 off protocol is a
choice you have to make.
I don't know how your interferon is packaged, but if you do not
need a needle to withdraw it and can use just an oral syringe,
I would Google for a 1 ml oral syringe with cap. Most of the
syringes listed as oral syringes will not accept a needle, so
they are not dual purpose.

Subject: [Felvtalk] Interferon
Hi:
I received a bottle of interferon from my vet. He told me it
was a 90 day supply but it says discard after 30 days on the
bottle. I know many posts have said that you draw it up into
syringes and then freeze and I know it doesn't last long.
I'm guessing I need to do that but my vet told me to call the
compounding pharmacy that diluted it and sent it and just make
sure.
The bottle says Interferon Alpha 2B 60 IU/ML 45 ML give .5 ML
by mouth once daily. I thought I had read most people are
giving 1 ML daily or 7 on 7 off? This came from US Compounding
with an address in Conway AZ. I didn't get much instruction
with the bottle!
So I am wondering about freezing and then do you know of any
economic sites where I can buy the 1 ML syringes in a box off
100 and the syringe caps? I am also looking for empty small
gelcaps.
Thanks!
Stacy and Spanky
