If you are a livestock or equine owner, you've probably heard of the recent change in over-the-counter antibiotics. On June 11, 2023, certain antibiotics made the move from OTC to prescription.
This switch is part of a larger FDA plan to reduce development of anti-biotic resistant bacteria. You can read more about CVM GFI #263 at the FDA website. These antibiotics can now be purchased at an animal pharmacy with a prescription from a veterinarian or directly from the vet.

How do I get my medications after June 11, 2023?
Your veterinarian will write a prescription that you provide to your preferred pharmacy. When shopping with Tractor Supply RX, our support team will validate the prescription, prepare your order and ship straight to your door.
What if I don’t have a veterinarian?
It's the time to establish a veterinarian-client-patient relationship (VCPR).
Can the veterinarians at Tractor Supply write prescriptions for my livestock?
No, veterinarians in a TSC will not be able to write these prescriptions.
Where do I go to get my prescriptions from TSC?
You will order online from our animal pharmacy at Tractor Supply RX. Just provide your valid prescription and our support staff will handle the rest. Easy!
