I got a big 500ML bottle that should last for months, and it just says on it to keep refrigerated. After reading here that it should be frozen, I think i'll take the suggestion of buying a bunch of syringes, filling them up and freezing them, though this will end up being about 50 syringes.
That big bottle should last for many months, but that will do me no good if the Interferon goes bad from just sitting in the fridge. ----- Original Message ----- From: Gloria Lane To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, March 17, 2007 9:18 PM Subject: Re: Questions on Interferon After my interferon is mixed, I put it in small containers and freeze it. I've read that you can freeze it once. Once unfrozen, I think it lasts 30 days, but I could be off on that - maybe it's 60 days, I'm sure somebody knows. There are many different PRICES for interferon alpha - ranging from very high to low, depending on the vet. I now get it for $15 for a large bottle (about 30 ml, I think?) It serves as an immune system modulator, and works very well for me, in some circumstances. I do daily low dose oral interferon with some FELV cats. I don't do the on =off that some people do.

His blood count was 17, up from 16 on Monday, which isn't as much as the vet was hoping for, so Tomi's supposed to stay on Prednisone for another week at one pill a day (he's been getting 2 a day so far). Now I shouldn't be giving him the Interferon until he is done taking Prednisone right? The vet said I should probably wait, but wasn't positive as I don't think she's very familiar with Interferon treatment. Another thing, I read something about freezing Interferon. My bottle just says on it to keep refrigerated. Will the Interferon last for months just being refrigerated? Thanks for all the info being shared here, i've learned a lot in the past week. The tip on baby food was a lifesaver, as he's being a very picky eater this last week, turning his nose up even at tuna. The baby food he seems to like though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
