Is human Theo 24 ER safe for my dog's bronchitis to save money?
Updated on September 23rd, 2025
So my elderly dog takes Theo 24 ER 200 mg once daily for chronic bronchitis (she’s a retired sled dog from Nome Alaska) is there any problem with giving her the “human” version vs the vet office version? The cost difference is $300.00 per month vs 16.00 per month
Hello. For the most part, veterinary drugs are equivalent to the human version of the same drug & visa versa. If your vet has no objections, he should readily write you a prescription so you can purchase the medication at any pharmacy you wish to use. Just for your information, the product you are displaying is a human medication & not specifically for dogs. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
