Frequently Asked Questions
Can I fill my pet's prescription at a human pharmacy?
Yes, for medications that have human equivalents. Your vet writes the prescription and you can take it to any pharmacy — including those on ScriptUnlock — to find the best price.
Is carprofen for dogs available as a cheap generic?
Generic carprofen is available at human pharmacies and is typically 50–70% cheaper than veterinary-labelled Rimadyl. ScriptUnlock bids include generic carprofen options.
How do I get the best price on my cat's methimazole?
Methimazole is a common hyperthyroidism treatment in cats. Human generic methimazole is identical in active ingredient. ScriptUnlock bids surface the lowest pharmacy price, often far below veterinary clinic pricing.
Does ScriptUnlock cover compounded pet medications?
Yes. Compounding pharmacies on ScriptUnlock can prepare flavoured formulations, liquid suspensions, or transdermal gels for pets who refuse pills — often at competitive prices.
What medications should I NOT fill at a human pharmacy for my pet?
Veterinary-specific drugs without human equivalents, or drugs requiring veterinary-only packaging/labelling, must come from a vet pharmacy. ScriptUnlock focuses on medications with cross-dispensing availability.
