Interceptor and Panacur

[Chaloupa]

Intereceptor IS a prescription product....it has a DIN which is drug identification number which requires, by the government, that in order to dispense this product the veterinarian must PRESCRIBE it to you and have a current client and patient relationship. It isn't an "over the counter" medication; as an example if you give this medication to a dog that is heartworm positive you can kill that pet...yes we are talking corals here not dogs....but my point is that veterinarians are not trying to get a maximum amount of dollars out of you, they are trying to do their job and abide by the laws that are placed on them for proper handling and dispensing of drugs carrying a DIN.

I myself am a dog owner, and a coral owner...would I expect my vet to just give me the drug? No, as I said previously, if you have found a vet that is willing to dispense this drug to you, consider yourself lucky~ I am not trying to start a heated discussion here and getting the mods to lock this thread or send out warnings...it just upsets me to see a profession attacked all the time with no considerations.

Good luck to the people with red bugs that have a vet who will give it to them! One day I am sure that I will encounter red bugs and will be trying to find Interceptor too. Hope your red bugs are gone!
