Guest bigorangedog Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Why is Virbantel over-the-counter and Drontal Plus is prescription (and more expensive)? Any reason not to give Virbantel for hooks and tapes?? ALL of our adoptables are coming in with hooks, and some with tapes, lately. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time4ANap Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Most likely because Drontal Plus is still under a drug company patent, and they can still charge big bucks because of that... Haven't used Virbantel, but have used Drontal Plus and found that it took care of the problem with no further issues. Someone will be along who has used it, but bear in mind that it is Dewey Weekend, things tend to slow down around here during Dewey. Quote Camp Broodie.

Hubcitypam Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 All I can say is Drontol Plus is expensive but worth every penny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigorangedog Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 All I can say is Drontol Plus is expensive but worth every penny. Yeah I know it works well. It's what I've always used too. Just wondering whether Virbantel might work just as well for a little less $$$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burpdog Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 From what I've read, Vibrantel doesn't get whip. If you can get a prescription, Allivet cost is $17.99 for 136mg pill which is a bit lower than the $60+ I paid at the vet's last month for 1 pill Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
