Dextran Sulfate Available Faster

Positive Action HealthCare in San Francisco (see AIDS Treatment News January 1, 1988) has arranged for a supplier in Japan to ship small quantities of dextran sulfate for personal use. Delivery should take 10 to 14 days--compared with four to six weeks usually required in the past, when people had to collect orders and fly to Japan to fill them. Anyone using dextran sulfate should be monitored by a physician; and U.S. Customs will occasionally hold a package and ask the addressee to name his or her physician before the drug is released.

Comment

We expect prices to come down in the future, as the $400. is the same price as before, even though the costs of airfare and hotel are no longer necessary.
