Hi guys, i purchased some metro and metro bits (food) from an internet site abroad. I was wondering now Im selling the discus i will no longer need it, will I get in trouble if I sell it on ebay or advertize it on forums etc?
might be worth checking that none of the ingredients are on the government "proscribed" list. however if they were, you should not have been able to get them in the first place. if it shows them, could you list the active ingredients? for my personal interest if nothing else.
ok got the main, active ingredient.
oxytetracycline this is an antibiotic used in human median often for those, who like me, are sensitive, lol that's an understatement, to penicillin. it is a prescribed drug, and as such is only legal to use under the direction of a doctor or Vet. any other use, including the sale, or passing it on to a second party would be an illegal act.
so, in theory at least, it would be illegal for you to even have this drug, without prescription from a vet. more so still, to pass it on or sell it. the offence would be: possession of a proscribed drug, and if you are trying to sell it, intent to supply.
but there is a more important point here. true anti-biotic like this, are the mainstay of medical treatment for bacterial infection in the west, being a broad spectrum anti-biotic, it is used as a coverall drug. all bacteria are able to mutate, both to exploit new resources and to fight any natural attackers it may have. now because of this if the bacteria get too little anti-biotic to kill them, they start to become immune to it, eventually, as is the case in many hospitals now, the drugs simply don't work any more. as someone who is dependent on this particular group of anti-biotics, if i have an infection, the subject is close to my heart.
