Do I need to have bute prescribed by a vet or is it possible to order without vet approval? Thanks.

Bute

Tina cornish

I want to buy some bute to put in my first aid box in case I ever need it, does it have a shelf life? Thankyou

  • VioVet Staff

The shelf life as per the data sheet for Equipalazone is as follows:

Shelf life
Shelf life of veterinary medicinal product as packaged for sale: 4 years.

Actual expiry dates will vary depending on what our supplier sends us at the time and will likely be less than 4 years. This product is also a prescription only medication and can only be purchased alongside a veterinary prescription. It has to be prescribed for a certain pet and cannot be 'stocked' for any horse unless you have a veterinary practise license.
