We were discussing this at work last week.... I phoned Dunlops, our suppliers,and they have applied for an import licence from France which they hope will be sorted in a couple of weeks, so then we don't have to apply for it and can just order as usual from them. At the moment we only have what is on our shelves which is about 28 tablets........

I was informed by the VMD on 9.1.2010 that there veterinary wholesaler companies have applied for and been granted Wholesalers Dealers Import Certificates (WDICs) allowing them to import a French tabletted product in bulk and therefore that you should be able to obtain supplies of the preparation through them.

I think one of the other nurses is on the case for the chemists. I can't believe only one place in the uk makes the stuff! Maybe I should set up a business making it!

We've had 2 cases of rat poisoning this week and only have 2 boxes of tablets left! Hope we can get some more soon.

Hi all

Just to say that there is now some information on supply on the VMD website - it is now possible to import and product from France, and the VMD hopes that one or more of the veterinary wholesaler companies will apply for an import certificate to enavle them to import in bulk..

I've been out of practice for a while so i didn't realise they had stopped making it, but i think it could be a major problem. We used to use Konakion quite a lot at my old practice and trying to import an alternative from abroad sounds like it could present a few problems!
