Shock The Price of Lyrica

[Sandrac]

Does the insurance except a normal receipt from Tescos?

Yes they kindly photocopy the prescription for me and also stamp it with the date dispensed and I send that and a tesco receipt to my insurance company.

and people have the cheek to complain at the cost of scanning their breeding dogs once when the cost of treating actual Sm is so high.

I nearly had a heart attack when the place that mri'd my sisters dog charged £75 for less than a months supply of gabapentin ( and she's not insured) also have the prospect of another two needing meds, we've just took on two rescue sisters ( cousins of above) the flea's have gone but the scratching hasn't. i've got them insured but wether the company will pay out is a different matter.

At Discover Dogs I was talking to a lady who has a Cavalier with SM and she works for Pfizer (manufacturers of Lyrica) . I asked her if she knew whether or not it was coming off licence anytime soon, she said unfortunately not for quite some time. I cheekily asked her if she got staff discount and she said No regretably she didnt. So folks its of no use trying to get a job with them.

As far as I can discover, the patent for Lyrica currently expires in October 2013, and that would be the earliest that a generic version of Lyrica could become available - so hopefully not TOO much longer.
