Re: TD-DMSA dosage & costs

[Guest guest]

Just checked with the breakspear 200mg is the same as 2ml.

I'd go the costs wrong, it's an 8 week supply so it's £140 per month

which is far more reasonable (not $120 though!).

Dear Emlyn,

How old is your child? I only ask because my 9 year old 27kg son is on TD DMSA via Dr McCandless but on a 100mg dose 8 hourly 3 on 11 off. 200mg seems quite a high dose? I'll also check what I paid for my last 3 month supply as I'm sure it was a lot lot less than what the Breakspear are charging - in my experience they do tend to rip people off if they possibly can.

With best wishes

Our boy is 4 and a half and weighs about 18kg if I remember rightly.

I've just checked the dose that we've been given and it is 200mg on an

8 hourly 3 on 11 of schedule.

Wow even £140 a month is a fortune compared to the cost of TD DMPS or oral DMSA. We need to find a way to get this direct - that's extortionate. We've just paid £78 for an antibiotic - one that's not licensed over here and has to be brought in but the costs are getting silly.

>>>TD DMSA is more expenisve I think Lee Silsby set the prices when the brought it out. Oral is much cheaper. I think BS can ONLY get it from AMT. I was paying £135 for the TD DMPS until I could get it from BS at £93, they hardly mark up the MB12 so I would think they are paying a lot for the TD DMSA too.
