Guest guest Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Hi everyone, I am starting my ALA (well I have about 20 minutes ago) and I am taking 6 mg with 12.5 DMSA. However when my hubby picked up the ALA from the compound pharamasist the it had a keep refrigerated sticker on it. I have never heard anyone mention it. (I do have a three month supply- cause it was cheaper) Also both my DMSA and ALA are slow release. Is this an issue. I have done 8 rounds of DMSA and done okay on it. It was and still is slow release. Your thoughts? colette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Thanks for your response it got me thinking. I did phone the pharmacist who compounded my ALA and DMSA - separate caps. The product was ALA and DMSA but how it was packed was what made it slow release. He says he can pack it next time with no fillers so it won't be slow release. When I asked Andy - he said to use what I have but don't let the pharmacist do it again Colette ..com > > cann7899 wrote: > > > > Hi everyone, > > > > I am starting my ALA (well I have about 20 minutes > > ago) and I am taking > > 6 mg with 12.5 DMSA.
