part way down there is a question which mentions it !

woohoo !

My lab has been on PLT fo years, keeps him going. Costs a fortune at over 50p a tablet. Where can you buy it cheap!!!

they sell it at www.hyperdrug.com, but u will need to give them proof of a prescription, i'm not sure how much it is, but u might as well enquire !
