Beachbum1 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I need a source for Amicar. Please advise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KF_in_Georgia Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 It's available by prescription. Go to www.goodrx.com and put in your zip code. Search for amicar, and the site should tell you who carries it in your area and how much it costs. Watch for coupons that can reduce the cost a lot. (Some pharmacies may not have it on hand, but they can order it.)

Guest OPointyDog Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Our vet's office just called around to the local pharmacies in the area to find it when we had excessive bleeding after a dental - turns out the only one who had it on hand was Walmart. I don't care to shop at Walmart, but made an exception in this case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachbum1 Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 I called around. Wal-Mart 5 minutes away said they had it in stock!!!! Had my vet call in the prescription. 2 hours later, I got a call from another pharmacy......they had been transferred the prescription. I went, "huh????.... why??" Was told because Wal-Mart did NOT have it in stock, but this other pharmacy would order it? GRRRRRRRRRRR. Called Wal-Mart. Their inventory was wrong. They called around. Found a place who would order it in for me. It's in and I will pick it up Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiveRoooooers Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Argh, but so glad that you are able to have the Amicar on hand. Question: if the Amicar isn't used, how long will it be good on our home shelf? Quote Old Dogs are the Best Dogs. Thank you, campers. Current enrollees: Punkin. AnnIE Oooh M Angels: Pal . Segugio.

Remolacha Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I am glad you were able to get it. When Molly's surgery was scheduled unexpectedly quick, I was calling around on Sat, surgery was Monday, so no time to order it. I eventually found a Walgreen's in N. Scottsdale that had it, about a 45 min drive, and not cheap. Good question, about shelf life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachbum1 Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) The label says to use before 4/1/16, filled 4/3/15. And this little pharmacy ordered themselves a bottle of 100. Charged me $4.71 per 500 MG pill, for the 15 pills I needed. Edited April 4, 2015 by Beachbum1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remolacha Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 That's not too bad a price, I paid $98/15 two years ago. I believe a one year expiration date is pretty standard for meds that aren't really short term. I have heard that if kept out of light and heat, most should still be good at least one year past that date, but of course, I'd like to hear from someone who really knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remolacha Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 How many pills did you get? Just 15. For $98. But, I was really glad to have them as she really needed it. Her surgery was a spleen removal, so more chance of bleeding problems. Hopefully you won't need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
