Estimate helperBefore you agree to a written prescriptionQuestions to make the estimate easier to understand.

Separate the clinic prescription fee from the cost of the medicine, delivery and any consultation or monitoring needed.

These are possible components only: the price may include some, all or none of them. Ask the clinic whether each item is covered. Prices are not directly comparable unless the scope matches.

What to confirm

  • Confirm whether the fee is per prescription, per medicine or per item, and how many repeats it permits.
  • Ask how long the prescription is valid and whether a recheck or monitoring test would be charged separately.
  • Check the exact medicine, strength, formulation, pack quantity and delivery cost before comparing retailers.

For medicines sold online, use the VMD register where registration is required and follow the prescription supplied by your vet.
