Has anyone ever tried to buy Flamazine cream?

My vet has written me a prescription for Flamazine (Silver sulfadiazine cream).  It is typically used for human skin infections and burns, but it has been found to be useful for treating antibiotic resistant ear infections in dogs.

My vet first insists I can buy it from a vet dispensary (with the vets prescription they have written). When I can't find one they say I can definitely buy it from a human pharmacy. However, when I try, the site issues a notice stating it's a restricted product, and they will only ship to medical professionals and a business address!  Has anyone managed to buy this, with or without a prescription?

Hyperdrug sell 250 gms tubes.  THE smaller  tube is out of stock

EVET also sell it but you have to phone them- see their website

Thanks, that's useful to know. 

Evidently High St chemists can send away for this with a vet's prescription, but only a few can access it.  I eventually got four 50g tunes for £27 through McParland's.
