Vetrxdirect is the BEST!
From UndisclosedComments about Theophylline X for Dogs Compounded 100 mg Extended-Release Might-Med TabletWhen we found out that our Boston Terrier, Piper needed this medication, I went to the pharmacy. The cost was going to be $142.00 per month. Wow! Upon doing more research, we found vetrx direct. The cost was only $49.00 per month. The staff was professional, helpful and consistent. They worked with my vet to complete the prescription. It's the start of a beautiful relationship!-
