I am afraid I have some very bad news concerning Acemannan. I have found
out the manufacturer, Carrington Labs, is out of business. I emailed VPL
and they said as far as they know, there is no one else making it. So, we
have another product that was effective in saving the lives of cats that is
no longer available.

It is made by Carrington Labs and was being marketed by VPL, but it is no
longer on their website and a search shows their contract with Carrington
Labs expired in April. I am going to call Carrington Labs in the morning
and see if they have another distributor, I sure hope it is still
available. It comes in a box containing four 10 mg containers. The last
time my vet ordered it, it was $225, that was his cost. The protocol is 2
mg/KG IP, weekly for 6 weeks and then monthly. The monthly shots can be
given sub-q. For those unfamiliar with what IP means, it means through the
wall of the abdomen.
The instructions say you must use it within 4 hours of mixing it, but the
vet who was the technical assistance person for VPL told me any leftover
would keep fine in the fridge for a week and for a month in the freezer.
