Re: Increase ALA after....

You can continue at the same dosage. Just because you are dropping DMSA doesn't

mean you need to increase the dosage.

If he is tolerating well, you could increase the dosage though.

Subject: [ ] Increase ALA after....

 

Dears,

After a year on DMSA+ ALA. I am going just giving him ALA from now on. My

question is do I need to increase the dosage on ALA or continue on the same

dosage.....? He is 5 1/2, his weight is 47lb.

Thanks.

Sue.

Stick within the dosage since side effects can be different with just ALA and

see how it works out. If he tolerates it just fine then you can increase by no

more than 1/2 the current dose. Stick within the 1/8-1/2mg per pound guideline

and you will be fine.

Don't increase the dose and remove the DMSA at the same time or you won't know

which is causing the problems, the increased dose or not using DMSA.
