Is anyone returning to UK in the next few days and able to bring back a packet of allopurinol. It is a medication for dogs with leishmania & is about 12cms x 4 cms.
Thank you

You can buy Allopurinol in the chemists here, used for gout and uric acid problems in humans, I assume it's the same thing?

We have a rescued dog with Leish and he is on two Allipurinol and two Zyrtec each day. Both are freely and cheaply available in any pharmacy, without prescription.

Just under 6TL for 28 x 300 mg Allopurinol from any chemist.

Tbh I have not tried to buy in UK (it is not for me) but have brought it back, just had a quick look online & some chemists need a private prescription. Those that have bought in UK could you please say which chemists & how much. Last time I brought some over it was 5tl for 28 pack & a quick look it is dearer in UK. As Keith says 6tl now so quite cheap still.

Papabravo & Sammydavis, I'm beginning to think you are in NC, where I know it is cheap & available & that is why I am hoping someone can bring a pack over for a rescue dog in UK with leishmania......
I will be over in May & will bring some back but it is needed before then.....
