AMTRA comment on the Government response to the GB Veterinary Medicines Regulation

AMTRA broadly welcomes the publication of the Government response to the GB Veterinary Medicines Regulation consultation. The consultation was conducted last year and AMTRA prepared a comprehensive response to this. We’re delighted to see that the VMD has listened to the concerns we raised. We are pleased that the proposal to change the classification for new immunological veterinary medicines so they can only be prescribed by vets, will not be implemented. AMTRA also welcomes the modifications made to the labelling requirement proposals for veterinary medicines and that POM-V medicines other than antimicrobials, can continue to be advertised to professional keepers of animals.
