    Buying medicine from someone who has dispersed

    Just wanted to check if it would be legal for someone I know to sell me their left over closamectin which is in date? They've sold all their cows and there's a good 5L left I think? I'm pretty sure it's illegal isn't it as they would need a license to sell medicine am I right?
