What Is This?
Veterinary Medicines must be prescribed by a suitably qualified person, necessitating the gathering of comprehensive information about the animals to be treated to ensure the most suitable product is selected. When purchasing veterinary medicines, you will be prompted to complete a brief questionnaire.
Under the Veterinary Medicines Regulations, the medicinal products available on this website fall under the following legal categories:
POM-V (Prescription Only Medicine-Veterinarian)
POM-VPS (Prescription Only Medicine-Veterinarian, Pharmacist, SQP)
NFA-VPS (Non-food animal- Veterinarian, Pharmacist, SQP)
AVM-GSL (Authorised Veterinary Medicine – General Sales List)
POM-V products can only be supplied by a registered veterinary surgeon with a valid veterinary written prescription. The original prescription must be provided before we can dispense the veterinary medicine.
POM-VPS medicines are used in farm animals and horses to mitigate or prevent effects of endemic disease in herds, flocks, or individual animals, where risks can be moderated by professional non-vet advice. No supply to horses used for food production.
Similarly, NFA-VPS medicines are solely for non-food animals, where they may be used routinely to prevent or limit the effects of endemic disease, with risks moderated by professional advice.
