HI again
Now I've gone into overdrive with reading files & came across this
http://www.ranvet.com.au/cushings.htm
This is the place that is supplying my pergolide at present-have only
just found it - & of course, as is my true nature haven't read through
it thoroughly,but at the mention of dst- panicked.
our pergolide has a "syrup" base of now I am going to question- & has a
longish (6mths) use by date.
Cause for concern?
Cheers
Pauline & Jack

Yes, two weeks is the standard as it loses its strenght after that. Can
you purchase the powdered this is 6 months, or the tabs. Check the
files for who sells Pergolide. Also type in for information on
Pergolide. Ian has written some wonderful articles on this exact
concern. Also if I.R. a concern syrup is not a good choice and very
exspensive in comaprison to the powdered beside expiry date issues.

Ian who is a pharmacist/chemist also I created a document that is in
the "Files" section
of the group called "Pergolide Forms and Stability" that has a lot
more information on the pros and cons of the various forms of this
medication. Here is a link to the page with the file-
http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/EquineCushings/files/Drugs%2C%
20Pergolide%2C%&#92;20Cushings%20Disease%20Treatments/or

or type in Ian Hudgings Pergolide and this should bring the information
up in the messages.

I thought it might be the water based that there were issues with?
I do now have access to a compound pharmacist( again in Vic) that I
am going to check with- I still have 2 bottles of pergolide to get
through & at the moment (touch wood) Jack is the best he has ever
been. & one day I will attempt to fill in a file.
thanks again

....Both has issues, can not remember the exact differences just the
shelf life is NOT nearly as long as the powdered and you have to be
more particular in how you store. Check the files on purchase and shelf
life information on the different formats with the Pergolide. Many
phamacies do not have the up to date information Ian Hudgings has
provided for us.

Ian who is a pharmacist/chemist

Hi,
I don't want to be rude because I think Ian is correct in his research
published on the group's website about some of the different vehicles (
I am not sure about the treats the exact process of formulation would
have to be published. It is dependent on pH, heat, light, other
chemical interactions.). I don't want anyone to be miss lead by his
credentials. According to the Colorado state bard of pharmacy and his
website, he is not a pharmacist nor is he a chemist. This quote was
taken from his website "Ian earned a bachelors of arts, magna cum
laude, in Economics from Kenyon College and an MBA from the University
of Chicago, Graduate School of Business."

What this group is doing is great! Keep up the good work.

Because "Anonymous pharmaceutical science student", in correcting a
misstatement by an EC member, may have unintentionally raised some
question about Ian's credentials, I want to take the opportunity to
emphasize again that Ian doesn't claim to be either pharmacist or
chemist. I am not privy to Ian's business affairs and only know what
I know from his website, but he has developed Vet Pet Solutions (now
Thriving Pets) to serve our animals and ourselves. Those of us who
have used his service can attest to the benefits.

The prescriptions **are filled** by a licensed Colorado pharmacy,
owned and operated by a registered pharmacist. (This is public
record.)

I'm sure anyone with questions can go directly to the websites of
either Vet Pet Solutions or Thriving Pets (still under construction)
and ask.

As APSS notes, they're doing good work and have been invaluable to us
here.
