&lt;p&gt;[quote user=&amp;quot;emma_j&amp;quot;]To be honest I&amp;#39;d welcome a flavoured/chewable/paltable/liquid formulation.[/quote]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would if I worked in the USA and its existence didn&amp;#39;t result in a ban on its cheaper human generic formulation that was already in widespread use...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m not 100% clear where I would stand presently then with respect to prescribing &amp;#39;cheap&amp;#39; fluoxetine?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;http://www.ema.europa.eu/docs/en_GB/document_library/EPAR_-_Product_Information/veterinary/000133/WC500068253.pdf&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and&amp;nbsp;http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1252672/A-dogs-life-set-easier-day-pet-Prozac-treat-depression.html (I can&amp;#39;t belive i&amp;#39;m getting info on what drug I should prescribe from the Daily Mail!)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;would suggest that I can&amp;#39;t as there is a veterinary-licensed version, but I&amp;#39;ve not tracked down where to get it from (if it is even in prodcution?)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If it exists and I just haven&amp;#39;t managed to source it, then presumably if I prescribe &amp;#39;cheap&amp;#39; fluoxetine I commit an offence?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So has its prodcution ceased or did it never get off the ground, or is it available and I haven&amp;#39;t sourced it, or is it temprarily unavailable? If so, do I need to keep checking every time I go to prescirbe &amp;#39;cheap&amp;#39; fluoxetine&amp;#39; to see if it is obtainable that day?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If it can be sourced from another European country, do I have to import it with a SIC in preference to using &amp;#39;cheap&amp;#39; fluoxetine?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Flipping the coin, if it is licensed as an aid for separation anxiety, and I can&amp;#39;t source it within Europe, does that mean that I can now use &amp;#39;cheap&amp;#39; fluoxetine in preference to Clomicalm/Selgian for this condition?! (I think not, but just a thought?)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Is there a veterinary-licensed fluoxetine now?</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/112760?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 15 Apr 2014 20:27:50 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:bf7dcf14-1678-43b6-b29f-72b62cfac13a</guid><dc:creator>emma_j</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#39;s licenced as &amp;#39;Reconcile&amp;#39; in the USA, googling reveals an EMEA licence last year.
