Hey Gary - OK - I'll have to see what I'm getting from the vet here,
and see if my freezing is at the right time. These figures were from
Island Pharm. But I usually don't mix again after the initial
mixing. And I know he gives me 1000 ml saline.
Thanks for the insight -
Gloria

Gloria,
Slight math error, 3 million units cut with 1000 ml of saline gives
you 3000
units per ml and this can be frozen indefinitely. You usually break
that up
into one ml containers and freeze. When you need one, thaw it out
and cut
with 100 ml of saline and that gives you 30 IU per ml. Island
always said
you shouldn't freeze it after the final dilution, but I don't know
if that
is true or not.

Subject: [Felvtalk] interferon alpha
I haven't bought any interferon alpha in a while. The Island Pharmacy
article on interferon alpha is here:
http://www.islandpharmacy.com/site/1420401/page/769212
Somewhere I read and heard that it was ok to refreeze it, so have been
doing that but the Island Pharmacy article says not to do that.
I know that there are a lot of diverse "views" and not always "truths"
known about oral low dose interferon alpha. When I've bought it
locally, I get a vial which contains "3 million units per 0.5ml" .
This is mixed in with 1000 ml sterile saline solution, and yields 30
units per ml. . So at this point, Island Pharmacy says not to
refreeze it.
Just wondering if anyone has any other opinions or info on it?
Thanks!
Gloria
