MTX Non Preservative Question

[Guest guest]

Hi ya'll - hope everyone is doing great with the warming tempartures. My

questions is for many of the older sight members. We recently stopped taking

Hunter to the Hospital Oncology Department to get her MTX shot. We were not

pleased with some of the choices the department were making and have chosen

to hire a private nurse to give the shot at our home. Our pharmacist has

only been able to receive the non preservative MTX and it is in a large vial.

Isn't it possible to draw off one extra injection and keep it refrigerated for

one week? I thought I remembered reading this back when there was a MTX

shortage. Our insurance will not pay for the home care (even the MTX). When

we

go to Atlanta in July - there is a pharmacy we went to before (two years

ago) that has the smaller vials - will go there and stock up. Any advice

would

be appreciated. See you all in Atlanta. Sandi Ken and Hunter
