Medication Update on Vet Prescriptions

from the beginning of October your veterinary surgeon is now allowed to charge for the issuing of a prescription: so it even more important that you ensure you are getting value for money. Below you will see some advise on ensuring you are receiving a fair deal!

A prescription can contain more than one drug so you should not be charged for several prescriptions when you only need one if you use more than one medicine.

A prescription can be repeatable, indeed should be if you are using medications for the longer term; a prescription can and should cover your entire check-up period which incidentally cannot be altered by your vet because you are obtaining medicines elsewhere.

Also Product License Update: As from this month Program suspension for cats and Program tablets for dogs can now be bought without prescription (This is prevention and control of flea infestation). This long overdue change in product license is very welcome giving you a choice along side Frontline Spot-On for your routine flea control.
