Thanks, Gary! I looked at the Franck web site, not a great web site I
might add, very disappointing. No link for veterinary products, none
for interferon that I could find. I went to IslandPharmacy.com, and
no interferon. Too bad they aren't available any longer.
For those interested, Tally was on this group a few years ago and
still has some information on interferon and FELV on her web site.
You can check it out at http://www.tallyville.com/stomatitis.html

Island Pharmacy was bought out by Franck's Pharmacy some time ago
and I heard then that Franck's would be doing the interferon, they
are in Ocala, FL. You could call Island and ask them, maybe it was
just temporary.
Franck's website is www.francks.com.

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
