Important Information about Cushing's Medication - Pergolide
You can definitley share the info with your readers. I have a saddlebred rescue as well. Anything that I can do to help a fellow saddlebred especially a rescue is a no brainer!!! Please feel free to let the general public know that there are means of getting quality pergolide for a reasonable price. The vets won't tell you this info. They want you to get it from them so that they can make a huge profit. I order my pergolide from Professional compounding pharmacy in freeport PA for around $80 for 3 months including shipping. That is for the apple flavored powder. They also have a liquid form that you can get a one month supply of but I don't know the price. I was getting it from my vet for around $75 a MONTH and started calling around and found it MUCH cheaper. I had to get a little forceful with my vet to get them to call in the prescription. But eventually they did it!! I spend enough money at the vet that they can save me some money with a phone call to a pharmacy. :-)
Their website is under construction but their phone number is listed on it. http://www.compoundingpros.com/
Also in the yahoo groups equine cushing's group (wow that's a mouthful!!!) there is a huge list of other pharmacies and prices for pergolide.
I hope this helps. If I can help in any other way just let me know.
Tip of the Day - I guess it is true...sometimes it is not what you know, but whom you know! Thank you so very much for taking the time to send this information to us. I was not aware of this so I am going to give you this month's award for being "The Trainer's Best Detective" for finding this information. The money you have shown us how to save can be quite staggering when dealing with this syndrome. I have your contact information if any readers need to converse with you. It is great to see how this site can work to everyone's advantage, thanks to you. Good Luck and Good Riding,
