Default Prednisolone for cats - can I fill a prescription in a pharmacy?

Does the human formulation of Prednisolone really differ from the vet
formula? I thought that 5mg of a drug is the same regardless of
whether it's for a human or an animal.


I would say yes. I think the main reason vets want you to buy meds
from them is so they can get the mark up.



The vet probably won't want
to write the script if he has it in stock and they all have
prednisolone in stock.

So true! I find it hard to believe that they don't want you to save the
precious money that could go to tests and treatments in the future.
