Guest guest Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Dr Bock has suggested that I start using the td-dmsa for Cameron to address his lead, which he has in spades. He prescribed the every 8 hour for three days scenario. Is this okay, because transdermal may have a different action, or should it be every 4 hours, identical to the oral dmsa? I really appreciate input on this. Abigail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Just my opinion..but I thought DMSA was every 4 hours. I would double check w/Dr. Bock....I didn't think it was different oral or TD. TD-DMPS is every 8 hours. Lillian fldofdrms@...fjennings@...

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Yes, every 4 hours, just divide the 8 hour dose, in half.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Frequency is more important than dosage according to Andy. So you are good on frequency. The dosage is technically very high, but who knows how much is actually absorbed TD? Andy's dosage is 1/4 to 1/2 mgs per lbs of body weight oral. So a 100 lb. child would recieve 25 to 50 mgs per dose. You are giving, nominally, 125 mgs per dose If you are not having unpleasant side-effects, then it does not sound like you are having any problems, in my lay person opinion. --- mbcomfort <mcomfort@...> wrote: > We have done about 20 rounds with TD DMSA.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 I think it is hard to know with transdermals, since it is not clear how much gets absorbed. But it is good that you are dosing on Andy's recommended schedule. Are you seeing gains? Anne > > We have done about 20 rounds with TD DMSA.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Anne, We have seen amazing results. Although, after about round 15 or 16 it was taking longer and longer for him to recover. We took about 5 months off and worked on tweaking biomeds. I ordered a new shipment from Lee Silsby and it seems they have reformulated the product as it has very little odor anymore at all. He is now tolerating it the best he ever has. I usually do the timing 3 on 11 off but because school is starting next week I didn't want it to interfere with the new all day scheduling so I am doing 3 on 4 off. What do you all do with the all day school schedule as far as dosing? Do you physically go to school and do it there? My ds has technically lost his dx since we started over a year ago. Still many delays to work on, but his ability to attend to academics and his all around tune in ness is doing so much better. After starting so far down on the chart in kindergarten, he is now starting 1st grade at or above grade level requirements. mb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
