Hi Jetty,
You might check here for interferon alpha: http://www.roadrunnerpharmacy.com
Road Runner is an American pharmacy that specializes in medicine for animals. I
have ordered interferon alpha from them a number of times.
I am surprised that interferon alpha, a human product, would be
Hi Lance,
thanks so much for your reply, very much appreciated. I checked on the
internet and found 10 ug at eur 152,00 at a webshop. Is that a price which
sounds reasonable to you as I have no clue at all. Talked to my vet this
afternoon and he was not that positive about using interferon.
You’re welcome. I only wish I could help more.
30ml of interferon alpha costs me about $45 in the US. That includes shipping,
I think.
How is the tomcat’s anemia? Did the vet run new blood work to see if his
feeling better correlates to a rise in red blood cell values?
Interferon alpha could
Hi Jetty,
Virbagen Omega is recombinant feline interferon, a much better choice
than human interferon. Somewhat expensive, I think. A 5-pack of 10MU
is approximately 430 Euros from Abbeyvet exporter in the UK. Here is a
link to the exporter. Only a veterinarian can place the order, but
Dear Lance,
Thanks again for all your help. I am considering to give him the Virbagen
Omega. He is only a very tiny guy so the costs would be ok. My vet is not
convinced about the effect of interferon and that in respect to the total
cost, he wanted to try the cheaper way first. Wally is really
Don’t worry. Your vet would have to order any of these drugs for you, so you
won’t be the only one involved in the decision.
Here in America, we still have vets who advocate euthanizing these cats. If I
had euthanized my Ember when I discovered she was FeLV+, I would have missed

Hi Gloria,
I would be very interested in knowing what dosage that vet uses for an
injection. Interferon comes in little vial with the lowest dose in a vial
being one million units and is usually 3 million units. These vials are
meant to be one injection for a human, but the oral dose for
i'd call another pharmacist, actually, and ask or maybe look it up in
the merck manual (human or vet)?

Gloria,
Slight math error, 3 million units cut with 1000 ml of saline gives you 3000
units per ml and this can be frozen indefinitely. You usually break that up
into one ml containers and freeze. When you need one, thaw it out and cut
with 100 ml of saline and that gives you 30 IU per ml.
Hey Gary - OK - I'll have to see what I'm getting from the vet here,
and see if my freezing is at the right time. These figures were from
Island Pharm. But I usually don't mix again after the initial
mixing. And I know he gives me 1000 ml saline.
Thanks for the insight -
Gloria

Hi Gloria
I've been using it for about 6 months and have followed the
directions given
to me by Franck's Compounding, which is that it has a refrigerator
life of 30 days
for 60ml.
I have been stretching that by giving it on one day and off the next.
I wish I could help you, but I do know
