Omega... Thanks -

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.
