Trying to buy some on line for £11.50 for 250g, but because it's a pharmecuitical (sp) I can't. It's over twice that from the vet.

Can anyone help, or suggest a site that will let me buy it?
 
Sorry... just wanted to say it was the best thing for Grace's mud rash when she had it so badly last year

it's prescription only - you'll have to ask your vet for a prescription if you want to buy it online. we cant charge for prescriptions but if they haven't seen your horse and the problem you want it for, then you'll probably have to pay for a visit and examination.

I'm just being tight. And begrudge paying over twice the price for a cream from the vets as opposed to online

At the risk of appearing pedantic, it's Flamazine, but that may be an accidental typo.

It's £50 a pot from my vet; I know it's got silver in it, but that is slightly ridiculous when you think how much you get through with mud fever

My 85 year old great-uncle gets prescribed it by the bucket load for his leg ulcers ... have you got any elderly relatives?????

(Just kidding!)

There are sites where you can get a prescription from your vet and then buy the stuff from the website...

all of the online pharmacies that stock it should provide it for you if you send them a prescription, but like i said, if your vet hasn't seen your horse they probably wont give you a prescription.

i think i paid £25 last year for my 500g tub at cost price. It's definitely fab stuff

There was one website that didn't ask for the prescription number (norty!), but I can't remember which that is - but you didn't hear that from me and I wouldn't buy anything POM if I hadn't had a diagnosis.

He would actually. Will give him a buzz later for chat.

Thanks Star.
 
if he will, then all you need to do is contact online pharmacy with details of prescription and they'll send it to you at bargainous price

I would be cautious about buying large tubs of flamazine.

Flamazine contains no preservative, so when the silver sulphadiazine becomes oxidised by exposure to light it loses it's antibacterial properties and may become contaminated by bacteria itself.

The tubes last for 7 days as the cream isn't exposed to light in these.
 
£50!!!!! for a tub of it???, flipping heck thats an expensive vet, didn't cost me that much, was about £23.00.

Thing is, if you want it from a vet 9 times out of 10 they will want a consultation before they will supply you with anything, so if you've not already has the vet out to your horse its likely that he/she will want to see what he/she is supplying to treat the animal, however if you know anyone that has had a horse that has been treated for MF and given Flamezine cream then ask them to order some for you, vet will repeat past prescriptions for products sush as creams etc.
 
All sorted now. Vet saw him whilst visiting something else.

I have been given a 'wonder' lotion - no idea what it is. All for the princely sum of £8.00
