Re: michelle/interferon

Interferon alpha, the one that is available in the U.S., is something that you give at home, orally (in a syringe).  Your vet does not administer it. There are different protocols. Most people do 1 ml a day for seven days, then seven days off, then repeat. Some people, myself included, do 1 ml every day.  Your vet can buy it or, if you want to buy it cheaper, you can buy it online if your vet calls in a prescription. I think it is through Island Pharmacy. If you can't find that online, let me know, and I will look for the link in my archives.  Or someone who has ordered that way can post again how to get it.   Michelle   In a message dated 1/23/2006 8:36:43 P.M.
