Is that the super costly stuff you had to ship in ?

Yup. Not too costly in bulk, and I've sold enough to make my money back, so all's good.

I'm a convert to Chloroquine as well ... all new purchases go through a 3 week treatment at our place. Our medicine source is London Drugs, we have our vet simply write out a prescription for 250 mg tablets. I don't recall being floored by the resulting price. The LD system has the prescription made out to "Nemo" :biggrin:

In any case, good insurance against losing a new purchase.

As Aralen, you've got to calculate for the filler vs. active ingredient. In a smaller tank ,you can get away with prescription pills, but for larger or more frequent, it can get expensive. Buing locally, a 50g jar was around $350, or somewhere close to that.
50g is a lot though, more than most people should need.

Wow!! That is a lot of medicine ... for the tablets we got (Teva), the amount of the active ingredient itself is 250 mg (actual tablet weighs about 750 mg, so 2/3 is filler).

I didn't know you could source it locally like that ... good to know.

Hard to find, but with a script, you can buy it bulk through a compounding pharmacy, but if you needed some, you could buy it from me :) I have a little left. PM me if you're interested.
