Dr. Clemmons' research affects a particular breed of dogs that is found all across the world; therefore we receive numerous phone calls from veterinarians here in the United States, as well as internationally seeking information about this particular drug regimen, which consists of three medications:  Acetylcysteine, Aminocaproic Acid, and a multi-vitamin mixture that we call Antiox-Q.  In addition to speaking with veterinarians, the owners of these dogs frequently call wanting to know information and what these drugs can potentially do for their dogs.

We want to provide our customers with as much information as possible, so we have a developed a patient information sheet that explains briefly what each drug is used for and what aspect of Degenerative Myelopathy it treats.  It also tells them how each drug is dosed, how they are administered, and possible side effects, how to alleviate those side effects, and how to store each drug.  We have provided a local phone number, a toll free phone number, and an e-mail address to improve our accessibility to our patients.
