Hi,
Can anybody help please, this is confusing and doesn’t feel right to me.
My partner took our 10 year old cocker to the vet for more dry eye ointment. The vet has changed the prescription to Optimmune 2mg/g ointment, charged a one off £90.00 and advised her to pay this fee and in the future they’ll provide the prescription and we can get the ointment dispensed online elsewhere. She paid this. I didn’t know this had happened and am now looking at the prescription for next month’s ointment tube and it looks like we can only get one tube monthly/per prescription. The Vet is charging €20.00 per prescription letter.
A quick search suggests the price of the ointment is around £10.00. This feels like a long winded and expensive way to get medication. Can anybody help please? I feel like we’re being shafted.
Thanks.
John.
