Subject: [Ferret-Health-list] Lupron Cost

The generic of Lupron, (Leupralide Acetate) can be obtained from Frank's
Compounding Veterinary Pharmacy at 1-800-622-4510 in Ocala, FL. I paid $128
for two vials (1 ml. each; 500 mcg. per ml) back in August and it was
ordered by my vet and sent right to my home. It is in liquid form and we
are currently giving .4 ml - the same dosage as is given for the Lupron
every 6 weeks.
