This leads to the question 'what are people doing about the prescription fee?' [/quote]

In the cases where this has happened with us we don't charge another written prescription fee and just alter it to the product/size available. Often we ask for an order number first and send it direct to the online pharmacy ourselves as we've had some issues with people forging repeats.

For example, people who have wanted to get a 100ml.bottle of a meloxicam product, we've done a prescription for 3 x 32ml bottles instead.

I get the impression that anything above 32ml can't be supplied from anywhere of any formulation

I have had a few cases where clients have had a prescription accepted by an phamacy to then turn round and say that they can't get it. This leads to the question 'what are people doing about the prescription fee?' In my case I'm calling them and saying it's their choice, do they want to pay the fee and risk it, therefore avoiding potential issues of complaint, or do we have any responsibility at all, just write it, after all that's what the client has chosen to do?

Meloxidyl, Loxicom, Meloxaid and Rheumocam are available, failing that the online pharmacies still appear to have stock

We appear to be getting our Loxicom orders, and also Rheumocam, is it just Metacam that's a problem?
