Re: Mixing up ALA with DMSA and vise versa

[Guest guest]

If you actually did mix the caps up and gave each the wrong dose the round

should have stopped, but......

If you didn't stop the round, and went ahead and gave the next dose, then you

kept the round going by default and there is no point stopping now (except in

the case of side effects that are too difficult to tolerate).

Thanks, . I did continue the round without any apparent problems. I

thought I'd ask because the Kirkman ALA/DMSA capsules look basically identical

and I have almost confused them before and might do it again.
