Nina,
Have you heard anything from your Internist's
office about importing Multiferon?
Thanks, Gary

Hi Gary,
My Internist's office has been very cooperative
about helping me and others get special FDA compensations for Interferon
Omega, (recombinant). If you give me more specifics, (the name of the
drug and company that manufactures, or distributes it), I'd be happy to put in
a call to my vet and ask them what they know.

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.
