Cost of sedalin/ ACP

[soloequestrian]

My mare is on box rest at the moment after an operation for septic pedal osteitis. She got mild laminitis after the operation, probably brought on by stress, so she is on ACP at the moment because it increases blood flow to the foot. She has been on 10 x 25mg tablets twice per day, at a cost of around £6 per day. Today when I went to get more, the vets said that the supplier has stopped making the 25mg tablets and now only do 10mg tablets. The same dose from the 10mg tablets will cost £12/day - the manufacturers explanation for this is that the 10mg tablets are for small pets (hmm, that logic works). I could give her Sedalin but from the vets this comes out more expensive, and if I get a prescription from the vets and then buy the gel online it works out pretty much the same............
Any ideas on how to reduce this cost, for example are the 25mg ACPs available (by prescription) online anywhere?
She's got to be on the medication for another 10 days at least, and having already spent the best part of 4k on the problem, I could really do with reducing the drug costs.
Thanks, sorry it's so long.

Not sure i can help but i got some ACP tablets from the vet and couldn't believe how expensive they were. About £45 for 100. Fingers crossed your mare gets better soon so you won't need them

Think it was £12 for a tube of sedalin.
