 prescriptions
Prescriptions are available from this practice. You may obtain relevant veterinary medicinal products from us OR ask for a prescription and obtain these medicines from another veterinary surgeon or a pharmacy. We may prescribe relevant veterinary medicinal products only following a clinical assessment of an animal under our care. Please be aware that a prescription may not be appropriate if your animal is an in-patient or immediate treatment is necessary. You will be informed, on request, of the price of any medicine that may be prescribed for your animal. The general policy of this practice is to re-assess an animal requiring repeat prescriptions for/supplies of relevant veterinary medicinal products every 12 months, but this may vary with individual circumstances. The standard charge for a re-examination is £29. The current prices for the ten relevant veterinary medicinal products most commonly prescribed during 1st August 2006 and 1st November 2006 were:
Further information on the prices of medicines is available on request. Repeat Prescriptions Now the cold weather has arrived many horses are requiring clipping and some of these horses need sedating. For many of these horses the use of the oral sedative ACP (sedalin gel or ACP tablets) is more than adequate. Only those horses that have had the section nine of the passport signed can be prescribed this medicine.

It is therefore practice policy that we must have examined a horse within the last twelve months before we can prescribe any medication. The annual vaccination for influenza will be adequate under most circumstances for this examination. We are currently working on the production of a database that will contain the passport details of all horses under our care. Hopefully this will mean that we will not have to inspect the passport before any prescription can be given. In the meantime we MUST inspect the passport before any prescription can be made. If this is not possible a certificate will need to accompany the prescription stating that the horse can no longer be intended for human consumption. It will be the owner’s responsibility to subsequently sign section nine of the passport. |
