If you have any queries about any aspect of the medication or treatment for your pet, it is best in the first instance to chat over your concerns with the vet practice team.
It is important that you understand why particular drugs are dispensed, and be aware of any possible side-effects. To that end, we endeavour to inform you when dispensing, often with provision of a written data sheet. On some occasions however your pet’s medication may have been dispensed without a paper copy of a related data sheet. To access the drug information simply click this NOAH Compendium link which will take you to the site which has all the veterinary licenced products listed: then search for the Trade Name of the drug you want information about.
If the product prescribed does not have a veterinary data sheet, then the drug information may be found in one of two ways:
We hope this means no-one need struggle to find any information about any product we have advised using to treat your pet. Please remember: we are here to help so do talk to us rather than worrying.
