Buying Trilostane capsules

[CherylC]

I'm just wondering where everyone buys trilostane, for those who use it?

I've been buying mine from Dr Foster and Smith, but now that Rose's dosage has been upped to 90 mg, it's about to get a lot more expensive. I already know of Diamondback pharmacy, and that seems very promising, but I was just wondering where else people are shopping.

Thank you,
Cheryl

Cheryl - I posted a link a couple weeks ago with some prices from pethealthpharmacy.com (in your other thread) but maybe you missed it or couldn't find it via the link. So here is their price for what you are going to be using.

30 caps x 90 mg = $40.65

They are online and located in AZ. They used to not require prepayment if the order was under $100. You could just go online to their website and pay with cc after receiving the meds. The first order, they need a hard copy of the prescription so I sent via snail mail. Otherwise, if you attachit to e-mail or fax it, they will have to call your vet to verify (which, with my vet, took a little longer.) Usually received the trilo in CA in 2 or 3 days. After that, you can just go online and order refills. Sue

PPS - this is compounded trilostane, but Zoe never had a problem with it.

Altho I have not used Center Pet Pharmacy myself, I thought I would include these posts from members who did/do.


Hi...

Just wanted to share my experience with Center Pet Pharmacy...they are the best!!! When Trilo was approved here in the US, I looked all around for the cheapest price, and they were definitely the cheapest. They were also super nice, and Fed-Exed me the pills overnight. I would recommend them to anyone.

Hi Glynda and Jeff –

Thanks for the information. We really appreciate your responses! Even though we have been reading and researching about Cushing’s, the more we learn we find the more we need to learn! While I had read that different delivery systems for the cortisone for the ACTH exist, I had no idea the gel was less effective! I have been reading so much that maybe I read it and it just failed to sink in, but it did this time…so, thank you, Glynda, we will be sure to ask the vet when we go to see her before we adopt Bree exactly what cortisone delivery method her terrific price includes.

If we adopt Bree, we will keep Diamondback Drugs in mind. I will also contact them to inquire about medication for our epileptic dachshund, Tazmyn. She takes 2 different medications, one of which needs to be compounded. We recently had her compounded drug filled at a local pharmacy and it was $75.00 for 90 days and cherry flavored! (They wanted $90.00, but lowered it to $75.00.) In searching online for a cheaper solution, I stumbled across Center Pet Pharmacy, http://www.centerpetpharmacy.com, and when I called I actually spoke with the owner, Kenny Kramm. I was so impressed that the next time I need to order Tazmyn’s medication I will most likely use them. He talked to me for about an hour about the pitfalls of ordering online. He gave me a couple of websites to check out scam fraud, http://www.nabp.net (The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy) and http://www.nextag.com. He also said to check him out, so I did. I read “The Heart Of A Company” (just Google his name and it is the second link) and cried through a good portion of his family’s story. In a nutshell, he invented palatable flavors for children’s medicine when he had a daughter born with medical problems who refused to swallow her medicine. He then expanded the company into pet formulas. Finally, he sold the company, FlavoRx, and started Center Pet Pharmacy. It will be between 2-3 months before I need to order her medication and if I do order from Center Pet Pharmacy will post my experience on the forum. I almost skipped calling this pharmacy because there are no prices listed on his website. He does this purposefully because he wants his customers to call so he can get to know them and their pets. He says this is the closest he can come in this day and age to the face-to-face service he loves from years gone by.

Glynda, we commend you for taking care of 2 Cushpups! It is obvious why God sent JoJo to you. We are thankful he found such a caring, loving, and knowledgeable home!

Thank you again, Glynda and Jeff, for sharing your experience and advice with us. Roger and I are so thankful we found this forum and are very appreciative of the support, advice, and warm welcome we are receiving from everyone.

Love and hugs,

Thank you Harley PoMMom,

I have decided to go with Pet Health Pharmacy, as their prices are extremely reasonable and I have read good things about them on the internet (and on here).
