Our Vet says they can no longer sell insulin for our cat. The Vet said it is expensive but we should look into buying directly from Canada ($150 per) as local pharmacy can be pricey ($300 per).
A friends wife needed a very costly drug but the HMO could not approve it as it was being used ‘off label’. The doctor suggested she get it from Canada.
If a doctor will make suggestions there is hope. Since the Vet knows that insulin is needed, perhaps they will write a prescription that could be filled in Canada.
I’ve been able to get pet orescriotion prices with GoodRx some of the time.
There are several online websites for filling pet prescriptions. I would try pricing those, but you also need to find our whether there are any backorder issues.
We are going with the Canadian pharmacy for around $150. We looked at Good RX but all the pharmacies were at least double that.
BTW, I have personally used GoodRX and if you haven’t looked into for human drugs, it is worth a look. At the suggestion of a non-profit medicare D advisor, I left one expensive eye drop off my Med D formula which nicely lowered the Med D premium and then just bought that eye drop using GoodRX.
