Are you talking about interferon omega, also called Feline Interferon or
Virbagen Omega? A few of us have imported that, and we have all the forms in
electronic version, and Nina's vet has put together a packet she sends out to
anyone interested. Basically, the vet needs to send an application to the FDA
for special dispensation. The FDA then takes a month or two to approve it, sends
the approval to the vet, and the vet sends that to Abbey Vet in England with the
order.

Does anyone know what the FDA regs are on importing drugs for veterinary
use? I have recently read an article about a study done on FIV+ cats in
Italy and they used the natural interferon alpha and found it to be much more
effective than the recombinant version. The study also referred to
another test done with FeLV+ cats with similar results. I was given a
link to a company that imports the natural interferon and it is quite
reasonably priced at a box of five, 3 million unit vials for $350.
The companies rep is not aware of what FDA regs there might be for vet
use. You can import a 3 month supply for your personal use but I assume
this requires you to fill out paperwork about your condition, etc., and
probably a Rx.
