veterinary drugs in UK - where can I get in EEC at reasonable price ?

Hi,

dl-methionine (trade name methio-form) only costs £9.00 maximum for 150
500mg tablets in the USA but it costs £60 here in the UK for equivalent
quantity/prescription strength from a UK vet !!!

Anyone know where you can buy it in the EEC for a sensible figure ?

cheers,

TIA

Have you checked to see if any of the U.S.-based online pet suppliers
will ship to the U.K.? If they will, all you need is a prescription
from your veterinarian.

yes, they will but postage is about £15 which is still cheaper than buying
it here. I just hoped I could get it in the EEC for a sensible figure.

Have you asked your local chemist if he can get it for you with a
prescription from your vet ?
