Andy Battaglia:
If it's only a small amount, it may not be cost effective to mail outside the country. Postal rates have gotten ridiculous.

Doctors here at a hospital in Pakistan are fine with HB 9 but they do not transfuse at 10. I usually take my kid for transfusion whenever it get slightly below 10.. such as 9.8 or 9.6 and sometimes it get fell as low as 9.2.  Is this an optimal transfusion?

Andy Battaglia:
Kaleem,

It's close enough to 10 to be optimal and is a good strategy if they won't transfuse at 10.

Hello,

Are the IP6 tablets large or easy to swallow? This is for my 11 year old who prefers tablets over the drink.

Thanks!

vampirebaby:
Also, what’s the dosage for a 25kg person? Should I start my daughter on 1 capsule a day?
