Drugs

Clearing out some more of Declan's gear I came across a bottle of phenylpropanolamine pills and noticed that they are in plain gelatine capsules ~ no drug manufacturer markings. Ceili's Propalin (phenyl.) was in liquid form and direct from the manufacturer.

Now, phenyl. is banned as an OTC in Canada and I don't think it can be prescribed except for veterinary use. Has anyone else seen phenyl. in powdered form and as a banned pharmaceutical, why aren't there manufacturer markings on the capsules?

I have no idea on what you're asking MMM, but on Friday I was clearing out meds for the guys and came across Cocoa's :rip:.....it was hard going :( so :grouphug:'s to you.

Yup. I know it's still fresh but that big ol' boy has and always will, a big piece of real estate in my heart.

:grouphug: to you too kid.

Yep, rainbow has many pawprints all over her heart ....big hugs to both of you as well. :grouphug:


Mums, where did you get the phenylpropanolamine pills from? :confused:

The Vet.

I wasn't up to noticing much of anything at the time if truth be told but, I sure wish I had.

Could you not ask the vet who the manufacturer is?

I got all excited by this thread for a minute ....

backing out now :D beep ... beep .... beep ....

I could I suppose but I'm still considering lodging a complaint against them regarding Declan's diagnosis and care.

Given it's banned status in Canada, I'm thinking along the lines that it may be a placebo. If I pursue the complaint, I'll have the pills analyzed at an independent lab. I just wondered if anyone had ever received anything like this from their Vet.

That's because you're in my front yard.

Sorry, mums, I didn't know. :grouphug:

I would think that coming from the vet they should have some markings on them. :shrug:

Ummm, I'm confuzzled. :confused: :o

LOL .....I fergotz that you guys are city peeps :D ....us country folks grow what we want where ever. :laughing:

My guess is that the powder is from a compounding pharmacy rather than an actual manufacturer.

I have had other meds from a compound pharmacy in an unlabelled form sans monograph and that would make sense if it wasn't a banned substance Sugarcatmom. I'll need to blow the dust off some legislation but I think it has to be dispensed in a formula directly by the manufacturer for liability reasons.

Yooze iz getting me confused with that other old gal from Ontario. :D

MMM, they didn't ban PPA until quite recently here--is it possible Declan's pills were from a compounding pharmacy from pre-ban times?

Banned for human use, yes, but I thought it was still available for veterinary use from compounding pharmacies with a prescription. I wonder if you were to contact Summit Veterinary Pharmacy (http://www.svprx.ca/) in Aurora if they would be able to give you more info.

It's been banned as an OTC for at least four or five years here Hazel.

Thanks Sugarcatmom!!! Now if I can just get the cobwebs cleared out of the ol' brain box...:D
