Loraine Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I discovered today that my local pharmacy will accept a vet's script for Oroxine for Zedley's thyroid. The vet charges me $81.00 for 200 and the pharmacy will charge me $42.00 for 200. Big saving expecially when you are on the aged pension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poodle wrangler Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Yep. Can use many human drugs for dogs, but I always check with the vet and adjust dose for dog's size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Absolutely! Little known fact - you can get a script from your vet and have it filled at the chemist - usually at less than 1/2 the vets price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loraine Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Yep.Can use many human drugs for dogs, but I always check with the vet and adjust dose for dog's size. I took his old, empty box into the pharmacy to make sure of the dose etc. Next time we need renewals we will go to the pharmacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
