I was was receiving 1mg and 1/2mg BCG for the first 6 treatments. Now my clinic in Chicago has decided that 1/3mg is sufficient. I am not aware of any phase 3 studies that show this. Mayo Clinic is one of a few urology departments that is administering the the full 1mg dose. Hospital greed? Definitely pharmaceutical (Merk, manufacturer) greed! Since BCG is expensive to manufacture.
