At VLP Pharmacy, we prioritise the health and safety of your dog. Under Australian law, anticonvulsant medications used to manage seizures and epilepsy in dogs are classified as Schedule 4 (S4) Prescription Only.
VLP Pharmacyʼs 3-Step Ordering Process
- Consult Your Veterinarian: Your vet must determine if a specific medication is appropriate for your petʼs condition and provide you with a written prescription.
- Submit Your Order Online: Select the prescribed strength and quantity from our pharmacy that exactly matches whatʼs on your petʼs prescription. During checkout, you will be prompted to upload a digital copy of your prescription for our pharmacists to review.
- Mail the Original Paper Prescription: Australian law requires pharmacies to hold the physical, original paper prescription before dispatching S4 medications.
Important Safety Information
