Quite a lot of old meds.

All stems down to how the owners/trainers/racing are being ripped off by VETS

The NHA should do something about the used by dates

.....most topical medication if stored correctly have a much longer shelf life.....however it is the packaging that limits the shorter expiry date.....when seconded to a pharma company in the 80's all the staff would after a weekly Friday sales meeting sit in the boardroom and strip and discard the packaging and then bag the mainly coated pills for repackaging ....:blink:

.....more recently a couple living in our neighborhood had the sales rights for a small packaging machine that stripped and sorted tablets with a single operator feeding it with full expired boxes of medication....and they soon moved from a R1M townhouse to a ZARBAR15 mansion....recon they have plenty customers doing similar.....:whistle:

.....shame Joey must have had some sick horses....mainly antibiotics for gut problems....a post colic remedy.... laminitis medicine....gastric ulcer treatment....and in trying to save a few bob in case the plethora of problems pop up again....he has to now pay more than what they cost..... :oops:
