Default interferon omega


I have been searching for Interferon Omega for my Kitty and think I have
figured out how to get it. The FDA Division of Compliance can accept a
request from Vets to order medicine from other countries. Once the
information is faxed to the FDA, they will then send out a letter approving
the purchase of medication. www.abbeyvet.com in London does supply Feline
Interferon Omega. This treatment according to the research has been the best
in extending the lives of kitties.

Has anyone used this in the treatment of their cat?

Go to felineleukemia.org & sign up for their talk list. Many people have a
whole lot of experience with this that they will be happy to share with you.

What illness are you looking to use it to treat? I've administered
Interferon Alpha to a FeLV+ cat, but never heard of Interferon
Omega.

I believe that this is feline interferon,,not yet available here in US but
can be gotten with FDA approval by vets who complete what I understand is
fairly simple paperwork...

Thanks Chris. Good to know!

Story from my vet about Interferon (alpha) when it was first being
used for cats: She said when she first found out about this
miracle treatment, she prescribed it several times. In the
beginning she thought she was seeing amazing results! As time
went on though, the percentage of cats getting better and cats not
getting better were equaling out. We had long discussions about
this when my Shadow was on it. Because of his IBD/auto-immune
problems, Interferon was not contraindicated. One thing you don't
want to do with auto-immune issues is introduce something that
stimulates the immune system. Poor cat. It was a lose-lose
situation for him having both FeLV and IBD. Prednisone for the IBD
weakened his immune system. Interferon to boost the immune system
whacked out the IBD. It was rough.
