Believe it or not, but some companies actually care about what their products are used for...

Thats interesting. My chow-chow was on it for about two years before she died. The prescribing vet told me they rarely even used it for human epilepsy since it had been replaced by more effective drugs.

Hope you don't get screwed over if it's the only drug that helps you get by.

It affects the bottom line negatively, and must therefore be purged for maximum gain out of the same work Smile

Good on them for not actively promoting the misuse of their product, despite the money they could have made. I hope this doesn't interfere with your ability to get the treatment you need.
