Swannranch - 2016-01-20 1:58 PM It is not a huge price difference, and while things can happen at any compounder, I feel better using one that requires an Rx to order. That lends them a little more legitimacy IMHO.
But it is a HUGH price . One dose $55 or $86 for 10 doses.
I have 4 horses that I have put on it. They recommend a does per week for 4 weeks as a loading dose. Do the math. $1100 or $168? I never paid much attention to the comments about Pentosan before, but had someone recommend it and HPR when we were out in Vegas. So I got on here and looked at actual users' comments because ordering from out of country scared me, but so many on here seemed to have great experiences so I decided to try it. I could not afford to put these 4 horses on the prescription variety.
As for the FDA, it doesn't always have consumers' interests first and foremost. It costs something like 10 million $$ just to get testing started on a product, then they do a short cut approach on something like NutraSweet just to get it to market WITHOUT all the objective testing they are supposed to be so strict about. It's al about the money. Kind of like the "Energy Star" rating for appliances. That label is bought NOT awarded for energy efficiency.
I do NOT trust Big Brother Sam I am. I know I may be taking a risk, but I am a big girl and can take responsibility for it.
