So Island doesn't sell it anymore?
There's also 3 on 3 off protocol. I used to do daily tho.

According to Island Pharmacy - they use to compound a lot of
interferon, but no longer do it - it was not recommended to freeze
the final dilution of interferon, just keep it in the fridge, they
always said it was good for 90 days that way. The dosage for cats
is 30 IU a day. The compound you have is made to have 1 ml equal 60
IU, so to get the correct daily dosage of 30 IU, you would use only .
5 ml. Whether you use a protocol with a daily dosage, or the 7 on 7
off protocol is a choice you have to make.
I don't know how your interferon is packaged, but if you do not need
a needle to withdraw it and can use just an oral syringe, I would
Google for a 1 ml oral syringe with cap. Most of the syringes
listed as oral syringes will not accept a needle, so they are not
dual purpose.

Subject: [Felvtalk] Interferon
Hi:
I received a bottle of interferon from my vet. He told me it was a
90 day supply but it says discard after 30 days on the bottle. I
know many posts have said that you draw it up into syringes and
then freeze and I know it doesn't last long. I'm guessing I need
to do that but my vet told me to call the compounding pharmacy that
diluted it and sent it and just make sure.
The bottle says Interferon Alpha 2B 60 IU/ML 45 ML give .5 ML by
mouth once daily. I thought I had read most people are giving 1 ML
daily or 7 on 7 off? This came from US Compounding with an address
in Conway AZ. I didn't get much instruction with the bottle!
So I am wondering about freezing and then do you know of any
economic sites where I can buy the 1 ML syringes in a box off 100
and the syringe caps? I am also looking for empty small gelcaps.
Thanks!
Stacy and Spanky
