A new modifier that has been approved by the FDA. A pretty intense infusion.

I have read on it and they sent some literature yo me about it. It is a pretty intense infusion but I am hoping for a good out come. It is not cheap by any means. Thanks for the info though I will keep you all updated when I start it.

I had the infusion done last week it's five consecutive days of an infusion and it takes about 7 hours total a day and my last one was on Friday just this past Friday and so far so good side effects minimal as long as you take your premedication and as long as you do the post medication drink lots of water and rest you should be fine

Not what you're looking for?
