Hi all
Any advice on the best and cheapest place to buy drugs online?
I'm looking for around 6000 5mg tablets of Prednisolone.
Thanks

You'll have to get a written prescription from your vet. They will prescribe a 3, 6 month supply (poss longer if they are ok with it) the charge is approx £10 and will be for the animal on the medicatio.

6000 preds is a vast amount. We only keep a pot of a 1000 on the shelf at any one time! If it's a big dog there are 25mg tablets.

Next find a British website that has the VMD stamp of approval. Any site that does not have this or does not accept a prescription could be foreign and will be illegal for you to import and increase the risk of it being a fake drug.

biggrin. I should have also said;
1. It's for my horse
2. I do have a prescription.
3. 6k is approx 6 months' supply (it was cheaper to get a prescription for a longer period).

Any suggestions for websites?
Thanks

Viovet, pet med (I think) pet supermarket

Not used all of them so just check for the VMD logo.

Curious- why not 25mg pred? And thanks for clarifying I only do small animal smile

Eta-petmeds does equine aswell. Not all of them will.K can't see they have the VMD logo anywhere but in the FAQ it states they are revs registered etc which could easily be ck'd.

Thanks - will look and compare prices tomorrow.
5mg is easier because I have to dissolve them in water in an oral syringe for her to take.
I also like to be able to be able to reduce the dose gradually if I've had to increase it to stabilise her allergy (to grass biggrin ).
