There are three fundamental classes of medications in horses that I want to describe today to help horse owners understand what they are and why there is a price difference.
Legend drugs are original products protected by patents and sold under a famous marketed name. The FDA approves these to meet strict standards.
Generic drugs are almost exact copies of legend drugs without a fancy and well-known name. The FDA also approves these to meet strict standards.
Compounded drugs are mixes of similar ingredients but not the same as the legend drugs. The strict standards of the FDA do NOT control them.

TheHorsesAdvocate.com is a website to learn about horses, horse barns and farms. There is a membership side of the website where horse owners can attend live meetings to ask questions and get a deeper understanding of things they have learned on the site. Membership helps support this message, helping to spread it to everyone worldwide working with horses.
HorsemanshipDentistry.com is a website that discusses how and why I perform equine dentistry without immobilization or the automatic use of drugs. I only accept new clients in Florida. Make an appointment in FL.
HorsemanshipDentistrySchool.com is a website for those interested in learning how to perform equine dentistry without drugs on 97% of horses. There are eight spots a year for interested students PLUS, there is a separate online course for those wanting to learn how to do this but can never get to South Florida for hands-on training.
