My question is regarding the suggested Arimidex + Epogen for anemia
problems in relation to adrenal disease.
I wonder if this would benefit my 6.5 year old MF female who had her
left adrenal gland removed with the pathology report coming back as
cancerous. Adrenal symptoms returned and she is now on Melatonin
implants plus a 4 month Lupron Depot.
I've seen Epogen mentioned on the list but have not seem any info
regarding dosage or how to calculate it.
Info on dosage and storage of the drug is appreciated.
Thank you,
Sharon
