>Kirkman's DMSA products do not seem to be listed on their web site,

Yes, I remember that they hide it.

>but you can order them by phone. You need a doctor's note or prescription.

This has been reported before, but I don't believe it turned out to be true. I

remember someone challenging Kirkman's on this, and it turned out that a

note/prescription was not necessary. Can someone else confirm/deny this?

>The lowest dose capsules they sell of ALA or DMSA alone are 25 mg, but

they do sell the combo capsule with 12.5 mg each, as well as a combo

with 25 mg each.

That's a great thing to know, thanks.

>I have been using the 12.5 combo capsules, which are very convenient.

Yes.

>The only time I have to divide a capsule is at the end of the round,

where I have been taking half of a 25 mg DMSA-only capsule for my last

two doses. Kirkman's puts flavoring in the DMSA, so the powder tastes

good -- I don't put it into empty capsules.

Thanks for letting us know.

Dave.
