See this?

I see this one. The Amprolium # of the other three links I can not find.

. Because it has an antibiotic in it it will require a VFD.

Ok. I think I get it. Only this version of Amprolium will be a VFD while the other Amprolium will not be a VFD.

First on the list is this one:

Quote: No, this bag of medication that just happens to have amprolium it will require a VFD. If the changed the formula and removed the antibiotic it would not need a VFD.

OK. I'm guessing you've studied the list and all thoroughly.

I looked through is and the only drugs that will require a presciption or VFD are water soluble antibiotics and antibiotics made for mixing in feed, or medicated feed like this one:

[casportpony]

There are three types of medicated feed, types a, b, and c. It's quite confusing, but do some digging and you will see that none of the products/drugs listed contain just amprolium.

I think what Kathy is trying to say is that Amprolium isn't the problem. In the example that was posted, it has erythromycin -- an antibiotic -- as well as the amprolium. So while there's no problem with the amprolium, they can't sell the version that has the erythromycin in it without a prescription. Does that help?

 

[Birdrain92]

Now I understand.
