--Re: Missed DMSA dose :: What do I do?

[Guest guest]

I have no idea. I've only used oral chelators. Most prescriptions have an

expiration date printed on the label.

S S

<p>, Is it ok to use the leftover TD DMSA from about a month

ago <br>

to complete the 18 doses next weekend? Otherwise, I only have <br>

enough for 13 doses out of the prescription. Do you know how long <br>

TD DMSA (Hopewell) will last?<br>

<br>

Thanks for responding.<br>

I wouldn't worry about 4.5 hours or so (I did that today, too), but when I have

accidently slept through a dosing (darn malfunctioning alarm clocks!) I do not

give another until the next scheduled dosing time. Also, as far as the exp

dates....I kept my DMSA for almost 2 months before I even worked up to doing it.

It was fine. I don't think it really has that short of a shelf life. I have also

used some from previous rounds to add to current Rx. I have never noticed a

problem.
