Starting Mepron/zithromax tomorrow along with my current IV Rocephin. I have artemisinin in 100 mg capsules.
I know to pulse this, 3 days on 4 off right? I need to know proper dosing.
Thanks in advance, Feelfit

Augh, Art is hard on me when I'm on Mepron too.
My doctor likes the AllergyResearchGroup Artemisinin. I'm supposed to be taking 300mg a day, but it's too strong for me. Taking only 200mg a day makes me herx horribly.
Good luck!

Feelfit,
I think this is going to be tough for us to answer here since it also is dependant on your brand.
I know I first was on Zhang Art but now I'm on another round of trying to dump the babs and my new LLMD has me on Allergy Research Group like distrubedme is on.
Both of these were at different dosages and for some reason, the brands seem to be making a difference in how much you can take.
Most LLMD's tell you to add this, so you may want to check with your doctor for clarification on dosage.
Many have to start out slowly and work your way up.
Good luck.

I start off slow by taking 200mg/day. I get my Artemesia from The Allergy Research Group.
I also take Mepron with it. I was told to pulse for 4 days then stop etc.....

Feelfit,
You should really ask your dr because I think different drs start out on different doses and I know there pulsing scheldules that vary between drs too.
