Guest guest Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 > > > Hi I know this looks and sound crazy.We use this formula if the patient dose is off the dose guide.If your kg and Ige are with in the dose guide then that is what your doctor should go by.We use this formula for those patients Ige is off the dose guide to get a caculated dose. Of course there are times that a patient should receive 1,200 ( example) every two week, no study shown that a patient can receive that amount. So at that point we start the patient at 450mg every 2 weeks, yes it is lower than their caculated dose, but yet these patient tend to respond very well. When i go to work tomorrow I will send you an example of a patient that we have off the dose guide. Keep in mind that our provider will dictate a good letter explaing why the dose along with a very detailed history. Hope this answer your question.
