Torbutrol

vetrinary pain med for felines ## I give torbutrol 5 mg. to my dog. The vet gives me 10 pills and charges me $40. each time. Is there a way to get this medication for less? ## I agree - my dog needs this every day and it's 30 pills for $95. Does anyone have an alternative medicine or a website for this? Thanks. ## Ask your vet if the 10 mg. pills would be any less expensive and break them in half - they are scored. Also, if you can afford it, ordering 100 pills at a time is sometimes less expensive. ## You're being ripped off by your vet. I have a holistic vet and I am told they are $1.00 a pill and I have to cut them in quarters (1 pill for 4 uses - only when needed). I don't know your vet, but mine is Holistic and I'd never trade my dog's vet for any other Vet. ## ...

I was RX 5mg Torbutrol Tablets for my Yorkie for A Cough. The Price He charged me was Off The Charts. Is there a U.S. source for cheaper Pet Meds I can Get Torbutrol Cheaper. ## If you have a vlid prescription that can be confirmed by your veterinarian, there are quite a few online sources that sell pet medications much cheaper. What I had my pets, I used to use Drs. Foster and Smith, though I don't know if they carry this one, but you can check. You can also do a Google search to find other sources. Have you also tried asking your vet if there is a cheaper option? ## I need them for my dog that has a cough. It's cheaper on line. I need 5mg.

I need these for my dog for the cough. 5mg over the counter. ## I need this medicine for my dogs cough. I don't want to have to get a script from the Vet. ## Hello, Myra! How are you? This website does not manufacture, prescribe, nor sell any medications or products. It is an information only resource. Additionally, since it is an opiate narcotic, it will require a prescription, even for canine use. Is there anything else I can help with?

My 12 year old cat was prescribed Torbutrol for when we travel. I like the vet but another vet in the same office couldn't explain why that was the med prescribed, as according to the 2nd vet, usually for pain...not travel. I'm confused, tried researching this only to find most info. about the drug pertains to dogs or sick cats. Can anyone give me any help, information, experiences...please? We're flying out tomorrow and I'm running out of time. I don't want to cancel. Help ## Unfortunately, I can only suggest that you consult the prescribing veterinarian. The information I have available is only referenced to the usage of medications and their effects on people and these details can be quite different. Have you tried calling them?

My vet can't get Torbutrol anymore. Are there any pharmacies that still carry it? I have looked everywhere and can't find it. ## Torbutrol is a brand name for Butorphanol tartrate; however it very likely may have been discontinued, just as the other brand of this drug has: Butorphanol (Stadol) is a morphinan-type synthetic opioid analgesic developed by Bristol-Myers. The brand name Stadol was recently discontinued by the manufacturer. IT IS NOW ONLY AVAILABLE IN ITS GENERIC FORMULATIONS, manufactured by Novex, Mylan, Apotex and Ben Venue Laboratories and is available only as Butorphanol tartrate in IV, tablet, and intranasal spray formulations. SIDE NOTE: Butorphanol is most closely structurally related to Levorphanol - just to suggest another alternative. Based on this informat...

My vet will give a prescription, however, she cannot afford to lower the price of Torbutrol 5 mg. Right now I am paying $107.00 for 10 pills and my guy takes it twice sometimes 3 times a day, so I really need to get it cheaper. My husband is disabled and on the liver transplant list so I am already paying for medications that are horribly priced. Can anyone tell me where to find it cheaper? ## Hello, Jenny! How are you? I'm sorry that the medication is so expensive and about your husband's condition. I hope he gets his transplant very soon. As to getting it cheaper, have you tried any of the pet medication websites? You can usually order from them and have your vet fax in a prescription. The prices are generally much cheaper, since they don't have the overhead that a veterin...

My Min Pin has a collasped treacrea and needs his medication 5mg torbutrol. I am looking to find a less expensive medication or find that torbutrol is less expensive thru you ## This website provides information about medications only, it does not manufacture nor sell any medications or products. There are quite a few veterinary medication websites that you can check, or your veterinarian may be able to help you find a better price on it. Are there any other comments or questions?

This medication is for my dog who has a collapsing trachea, the vet told us we may find it cheaper if we went online to fill their prescription. ## The actual medication name is Butorphanol. How much does your vet charge? You may want to look at the various veterinary medication websites to check their prices. I don't know what would be cheaper for you. ## Yeah, with a prescription you can fill it at various pet meds websites if the vet clinic is too much.

I have been taking Vicodin for back pain.... Is Torbutrol the same as Vicodin ? Can I take this? ## Hello, Oliver! How are you? No, they are not the same. Vicodin contains Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone, while Torbutrol contains Butorphanol and you should only take it, if your doctor approves. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

Does val torb syrup make a dog rest better? And does it have side effects? ## Torb/VAL syrup is the opioid Torbutrol (butorphanol) dissolved in V.A.L. syrup. It's usually prescribed to treat mild pain. The V.A.L. syrup is also said to contain B-vitamins, but I've heard that it is mostly added to hide Torbutrol's bitter flavor. As far as side effects go, central nervous system effects (such as sedation, confusion, and dizziness) are considerations with butorphanol. Nausea and vomiting are common. Less common are the gastrointestinal effects of other opioids (mostly constipation). If your dog has been resting a lot more than usual, it's likely due to the sedative effects of the medication. It can often make the animal extremely drowsy so be careful with its use. If need be...

This is a very small round white pill. F D is printed on one side with a break line, 632 is the imprint on other side. ## In my investigation, the pill in description is reportedly identified as Torbutrol (Butorphanol tartrate), indicated for veterinary use in dogs to help alleviate coughing as well as acting as a sedative/pain reliever. Due to the lack of available information on this pill, I would still encourage you to get a second opinion from a local veterinary office or clinic, as there have also been rumors of this being a drug called Aminopentamide (Centrine) - which is also used in veterinary medicine for vomiting and diarrhea. I hope this info helps! Please post back if you're able to get a more concrete answer. ## Yes I believe that’s correct…had this pill for...

Found this pill on my bathroom floor. Can't identifiy it or figure where it came from. ## Hello, Linda! How are you? Actually, this is listed as being a veterinary medication, it contains 10mgs of Torbutrol, which is an opiate pain reliever used for dogs. The FDA lists its typical side effects in canines as possibly including nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I had the same issue.

small round pink pill on one side scored other side 0.5 on top 251 on bottom ## Although I can't verify my findings, research I gathered leads me to suspect that this is butorphanol (brand name: Torbugesic or Torbutrol) which is a pain medication that doubles as a cough suppressant. I don't know for certain, but it's most likely to be this. Do you happen to have any pets as well that were taken to the vet? I'm also just wondering if this is a veterinary pill for bronchitis in dogs. If this is the case, then we may have a match for butorphanol. Hope this helps! ## where did you gather your facts on this or did anybody never confirm it? ## this is Triamcinolone Triamcinolone is a long-acting synthetic corticosteroid ## No, they're slimming pills.

Val-Torb was given to my mini doxie for a chronic condition. He weighs 16 lbs and the dosage was 1.5mls 3 times a day but it made him horribly sick and shaky. As soon as I took him off he was OK. Has anyone out there had a problem with this medication? ## What this stands for is Valium, which is a Benzodiazepine that's used for its calming effect and Torbutrol (Butorphanol), which is used to relieve pain. I don't know what the dosage should be for canines, because veterinary medications are not my speciality, but it sounds like it may have been too much of the Torbutrol for him. Have you contacted your vet? A lower dose or different medication may be necessary. ## How long is Val/Torb good for? ## What long term side effects doa dog get when given Val torb long term ## I have yo...

do they loose their appetite when taking this medicine? or combined with ZydaClin? My dog has been drowsy and not active like she normally is ....she had her teeth clean and some pulled and has been taking the medicine for 5 days now ## Hello Pat, Sorry to hear your dog is having a bad time after having her teeth pulled. According to Diamondback Drugs and Pet Education the most frequently seen side effects from Torbutrol (torb val syrup) are sedation, loss of appetite and diarrhea; it also can cause a slower heart rate. If she continues to feel this way after you stop administering the medication you may want to consult a veterinarian as there may be other factors involved. I hope this information helps and your dog feels better soon.

little round white pill, with 636 on one side, and with FD on the other, it can be split in half on the FD side. ## Sorry, this isn't listed in any of the prescription databases, not even the professional ones. I would have to say it is probably an over the counter item, which aren't regulated and kept track of like prescription drugs, or a foreign med. ## I know that it is some kind of veterinary medication... I just found a bottle so old the label was entire blank, however i tried reading what i could and I think it said torbutrol ## it is torbutol...its a painkiller given to dogs and cats.... i think they rangefrom 1 to 10 mg.'s ## it is methocarbamol 500mg
