Re: where to get prozac

[Karen Olio]

You can get prozac as a generic (fluxotine). Call around because the 
price varies so much. We used to pay $200. for 100 10mg tablets. We 
found a local regular pharmacy (here in the US) to buy the same 100 
tablets for $22.
We use 10 mg tablets cut in half (we started on 3 mgs and then went to 5mgs
a day for a 9 lb cats). We crush it and put it in a bit of baby food.

My vet prescribed the Prozac.  The first time I had to take the prescription
to a normal pharmacy and they were very confused about the small dosage.  I
think Prozac for cats is an "off-list" use.  Thankfully my vet has an
arrangement with a compounding pharmacy and the Prozac is made into a
flavoured cat chew.
We have another cat who has been on beta blockers for a year.  The
compounding pharmacy has saved our life.  No more trying to force pills down
the cats' throats.
The Prozac is pricey though.  I'm in Canada and it costs us about a dollar a
day.
