Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Hello my Dr. just prescribed Lipoeic acid for my son I was wondering if any of your children are on it and if they are did you see any benefits? It will costs us 40$ a month for this RX. He cannot have a pill otherwise it is a lot cheaper. They will have to make it into a liquid. Please let me know. He has a lot of energy on the coenzyme Q10. Thank you Angel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Angel, My girls are on Alpha Lipoic Acid and I buy it in capsule form at Wal-Mart (it's about $5 for 100 - 100mg capsules.) I dissolve it in water and add pull it up in a syringe. The girls get 30mg 3Xday. I dissolve one capsule in 5mls of water and draw up 1.5 mls for each girl. It does taste a little icky but, they handle it quite well. I hope this helps. Kim - Mom to and Lindsey - 2.5 Partial Complex I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Hi Angel, They do make Alpha Lipoic Acid in a softgelcap. Could you squeeze out the liquid from that? Not sure if it would be cheaper but I just picked up some and the softgelcaps were $9.99 for 60 at 50 mg each. My daughter takes one with each meal. Fortunately, we do not have to pay for it normally but I had to buy some since her prescription ran out and we are waiting for the regular pharmacy to get several of her special orders in.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Hi Thank you for the advice! I too bought it from Walmart 5$ for 60? They came in a capsule. I pull it apart and it is a powder so I mixed it and added a little pediasure worked like a charm. Which is awesome I almost had to spend 40$ a month for the pharmacy mixture! Thanks so much!!!
