Federal law dictates that drug companies can’t manufacture and market medicines for animals unless they get the approval of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
That approval, which is laid out in the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, can only be given if the company’s application meets three criteria, the FDA reports:
– The drug must be shown to be safe and useful to treat health problems in a designated species. And if the animal is used in food production, the resulting food products need to be proved safe for human consumption.
– The company has to demonstrate that its manufacturing process will ensure drug quality and purity.
– The labeling of the medication must be accurate and contain all the information needed for the product to be used safely.
