Prescriptions

Prescriptions are now available from this practice.

You may obtain prescription only medicines, category V (POMV's) from your veterinary surgeon, or ask for a prescription and obtain these medicines from another veterinary surgeon or a pharmacy.

Your veterinary surgeon can only prescribe POMV's for animals under his or her care.

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 to your pet.

The general policy of this practice is to reassess the animals requiring repeat prescriptions at regular intervals based on individual circumstances. The costs of such a re-examination are dependant on whether urine tests or blood tests are necessary to allow monitoring of drug therapy.
