The latest entry into the selegiline market is ANIPRYL from Pfizer, the maker of Viagra. The tablets come in varying strengths, going from 2 mg to 30 mg, six times the strength of Eldepryl. Thirty of the 30 mg tablets cost $71.00 at the Wicomico Veterinary Hospital. Cutting the 30 mg 6ths would yield 180 normal doses at a cost of less than 40 cents per dose. That is far less than the $2.56 list price per dose foe Eldepryl or the $1.25 per dose "good price" for the generics. Don't get too excited since you will get a bill from your veterinarian who may also recommend distemper shots. ANIPRYL has been advertized on television for treatment of canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome. The insert says it is chemically identical to Eldepryl and cites use in humans in warnings about drug interactions. Will Johnnston A.P.D.A.
