hi Lovelies,

has anyone heard what dowse is best for heparin gel which I hear is made up at harbour pharmacy in Florida( compounding pharmacy)

My onc wants to try it with me but doesn’t have any experience with it. I hear it comes in low dose, 250, 300, and 2400… any one have any suggestions of what might work best for blistery red feet in cape? I am missing my daily swims in Nz as the salt water really helped. But also I have had to push up the dose now that I am home and my feet blistered on my week off.
