Nancy,

It is my guess that this doctor used Intergel. Since this was written back in 2002, Intergel would have still been on the market. But, to this date, SprayGel is not available in the U.S. Many people used to get these barriers mixed up. As of today, Sept 8, 2004, Intergel, I believe, is no longer on the market for use and SprayGel is still to be approved by the FDA. I do not even know if it is being used in Clinical trials.

Who was your Doctor in Seattle, Washington? Just curious, why he was authorized to use the spray jell, and if he accepts patients for this.

[moderator note: please note this message was sent in October 2002. At this time, Spray Gel is still not being used in the USA because it has not been approved by the FDA]
