Amoxicillin (FishMox) availability to the UK

Post by jennyjj01 »

Until a few months back, it was apparently easy to buy Amoxicillin 100 capsules at a time in the form of fishmox. That product was apparently the same stuff as we get in the UK on prescription, pretty much from the same factory and of the same standard. OK. I won't debate the merits of taking fish medicine, except to say that after teotwawki, this could be a valuable stash.
BUT, what I'm seeing now is a LOT of shady sellers online who are giving pictures of fishmox containers, but then sending out something else of quite unknown provenance. It seems that to buy the genuine article, one would have to use an overseas, possibly American source to stand a chance of getting the real deal.
So. . . Being very reluctant to get on HMG's radar as an importer of dubious stuff, does anyone have a suggestion for a trusted UK source. . .
I understand that even the human consumable stuff is over the counter in the US. Anyone know if there's any OTC availability in Europe? Would it be illegal to import some ( for the fish, of course )

having just undertaken a course on antibiotics with upsaala university, I would not waste your money as within the next 3-4 years none of them will work.

Their has not been a new antibiotic made since 1987 as pharma companies know the cost versus payback from sales is so small and the medical profession is stopping prescribing them and using alternative therapies that preppers wont be able to buy.

for my money buy something else. :ugeek:
