JAJ2010 Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 it's time for us to reorder and I was wondering if anyone has checked out Costco's prices? Or if they even have it... we need .6 mg Quote ------ Jessica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FreddyGirl Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Don't know about Soloixne at Costco. I get mine from PetMeds. Very cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ullaluv Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 I don't think the human dose goes that high. Inter-species difference. I think the largest available may be .3 mg, which is a huge dose for a person, but not much for a dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAJ2010 Posted April 11, 2010 Author Share Posted April 11, 2010 Ah... I didn't even think about what human doses were. Looks like we will stick to the Omaha vaccine place. They seem to be the cheapest for a bulk order. Thanks so much ! Quote ------ Jessica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FullMetalFrank Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Yeah; we found that out when we first started Frank on thyroid. Animal doses are much higher than human! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandysMom Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 It's not on their online price checker, but you can call the pharmacy at your local Costco and they'll give you the local price and whether the dose you need is available.

Guest zoolaine Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I get all of Sunny's meds through Costco - he is a member of their pharmacy club so I save a few dollars too. They are really great and even special ordered his Elspar and it was shipped overnight. So I agree you should call and ask them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAJ2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 Well I just got off the phone and the person said they only carried it in 3mg, then when I asked for the price per pill she suddenly did not know this drug? Oh well swing and a miss there! On to Omaha Vaccine.... Quote ------ Jessica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ullaluv Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 If you refer to it as Soloxine, they won't know it. Soloxine is the veterinary name for L-Thyroxine,which is generic for Synthroid. Synthroid is synthetic human T-4 (synthesized to be identical to that component of what the human thyroid makes.) It has largely replaced the old animal thyroid extracts. I wonder if some day some enterprising pharmaceutical company will come up with a synthetic canine thyroid replacement, instead of just using the human hormone.

JAJ2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 Ahh... I didn't know it had another name! but then how did they know it only came in a 3mg pill? It was just a very bizarre conversation.... Just placed an order through Omaha Vet, so we are covered for another few months or so.

Ullaluv Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Doesn't come in a 3 mg pill. Maybe 0.3 mg. I wander if she was thinking of something else with a similar sounding name. Typical doses for L-Thyroxine range from 0.075 to 0.2 mg.(0.2 is a large dose.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest daberle Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I get .08 from KV Vet. 250 pills for 32.00(?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatricksMom Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I was told they didn't carry it, but that was several years ago. If you don't like to order online, I think I pay $100ish for 1000 pills ordered through my vet (I order once a year). Quote Beth, Petey (8 September 2018- ), and Faith (22 March 2019). Godspeed Patrick (28 April 1999 - 5 August 2012), Murphy (23 June 2004 - 27 July 2013), Leo (1 May 2009 - 27 January 2020), and Henry (10 August 2010 - 7 August 2020), you were loved more than you can know.
