ACP and Codeine Costs

[Alibear]

I think I have been massivly over charged

for 8 ACP tablets I was charge £32 !
and for a weeks worth of codiene which ok is 112 tablets was £56 but that's 50p per tablet which I think is a lot for what is a pretty standard pill.

What do you guys think?

Flipping heck, did you buy them off some hoodie on a street corner!!!!

as for Codeine - i get 100 for myself for the price of a prescription (6.35) and that is 30mg.

My usual vet was working out his notice when he visited my horse because of colic; he was very disillusioned with the business side of the practice, upset by the very large bills that were handed out but not seeing any of the money put back into the practice. It was a real eye opener to hear the things the vets were told to do to bump the costs up.
Amongst other things he said " I can sell you this drug for your horse for £38 or you can go into the nearest chemist and ask for codeine, will cost you about £5.00"!
Guess which option I chose!

blimey, acp from my vet works out at 26p per tablet including the vat!!! well over charged i would def query it...

paid about £2.60 for 8 ACP from vet, has been my best horsey bargain, and very necessary

think I shall be querying this, I mean I have been a good customer and paid them thousands of pounds over the last 2 years but bills have always seemed reasonable but this one is ludicrous!

My horse is on a ton of codeine at the mo 40x60 mcg tabs twice a day which according to my vet bill is £20 a day, so £20 for 80 tabs - that's roughly £2 for 8.

Thank goodness for insurance...

That sounds a lot. Although I really have no idea, my vet gives them to me like tubes of smarties, for free.
