Do vets take back meds like Regumate?

[milliepops]

Have 600ml dispensed by them in unopened bottles but not sealed ones. Horse is off games now so it's just wasted otherwise. Does anyone know if they are likely to take it back? I'm going back to horspital at the end of the week so could pop it back then if it was a possibility. I guess it's unlikely but thought I'd ask in case others have had any joy.

I'd just ask the vet and see what they say. Is that Kira? Sorry to hear she's not right.

My dog vet wouldn't take back unopened (seal still intact) medicine as they said they could not guarantee I had stored it correctly.

Such a shame you couldn't sell it on to someone with a prescription. It would save a lot of waste

My vets did. I was looking to do a regumate trial and my vet said he had some that had been returned to him from a very trusted client and was happy to let me have it for the cost of what was left in it.

I suspect this is rare though for reasons mentioned above, but as he trusted it would have been stored correctly and I obviously was happy with the situation that's what we did.

Not usually as they need to be able to guarantee that they have been kept in appropriate conditions.

I don't know about Regumate but my vet took back and refunded Prascend, when I actually spoke to the senior vet, although the receptionist was a bit sniffy about it. I would speak to the vet.

They aren’t supposed to, but some do. You can only ask!

They are not meant to. Same as pharmacys.
Worth asking.

No idea re returning meds but just wanted to say I'm sorry to hear about Kira. ☹

 

[Caol Ila]

I don't know the answer to your question, but like southerncomfort, I'm really sorry to hear that Kira is still not right.

Sorry to read Kira still off games.

My vet does on certain meds.
