IP6 - Latest Update
cherieann:
Sorry Sue for taking so long to reply but I had to think how to answer your question.
My specialist told me that the longer desferal is exposed to our tissues, the more iron will be excreted. So I would have to say that 20 minutes of pushing can not come near to 8 hours of exposure. I would think.
Have you considered going IV with a drip. That was how mine was administered before the pump.
The dose was 3 grams a day mixed with 5 ml of water and then added to 2oml saline in drip chamber. The drip rate was 1 drop every 15 seconds. This was administered nightly from 7pm to 7am estimate.
Maybe this is another way to go until the pumps are available.
I hope that I have given you something else to look at.
Take care.
cherieann:
Desferal only works while you are taking it, so the longer period of time you are using it, the more iron that is chelated, even if you are spreading the same dose over a longer period by diluting the desferal more. 5 vials will do much more if you take them over a longer period of time than 10 hours. This is a proven fact. With desferal, the length of time taken is just as important as the dose. 24/7, which means 24 hours a day, 7 days a week is often recommended, as the effect is dramatic in ferritin reduction. What you need to strive for is extending the period you are taking. You can dilute the desferal more to make it last longer and it still has a good effect but for more time.
Took this from another thread that Andy had posted to.
This is similiar to what I was saying.
Take care
tyson:
ive got inositol, would that work tooo or does it have to be inositol hexaphostate?
cherieann:
I'm not familiar with inositol hopefully one of our more knowledgeable moderators or members could answer.
Andy Battaglia:
Inositol will enhance the value of IP6 (inositol hexaphosphate) but it does not have the same properties of IP6. If you cannot find IP6, it can be ordered by many companies in the US and shipped internationally.
