Stella14 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Does anyone buy this online? I get the impression that, with some websites, you have to indicate that you have a Vets' prescription, but you don"t have to produce it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 As far as I know you cant buy it online in the UK, the sites that say you have to have a prescription for stuff usually let you buy the item and pay but then want the prescription forwarded to them before they will despatch any meds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 My vet charged me £8 for my last course for the chooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Good point - my last lot was £7 or so - its not expensive to get from the vet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella14 Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 Good to know. Problem is that legally a vet shouldn't prescribe for an animal they haven't seen. Mine insist on seeing an animal at least within the previous three months in order to provide a repeat prescription. My dog has a digestive problem and regularly needs an antacid when it starts 'tuning up' to prevent it from (quickly) getting out of hand. A consultation is £22 and they charge 3 times the price for the drug as I pay just buying it from a pharmacy online! Fortunately, although it isn't available to dogs without prescription, the same drug is available for humans without prescription. Consequently, I can buy it much cheaper than through my vet and I always have it immediately available (much better for the fury one). No doubt they will have me over a barrel with the hens! Ho hum!

Chucky Mama Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Does anyone buy this online? I get the impression that, with some websites, you have to indicate that you have a Vets' prescription, but you don"t have to produce it. You will have to product a valid prescription. Any website supplying without will not be registered with the regulatory body that oversees safe supply of veterinary medicines and therefore will not be supplying authentic medicines. Beware!!
