Several antibiotics that are currently available over-the- counter (OTC) for animal use will require a veterinary prescription in the coming months (see table 1 for examples). This change represents the final phase of the Food and Drug Administration’s efforts to bring all medically important antibiotics approved for use in animals under veterinary oversight.

Many antibiotics went through a similar transition on January 1, 2017. Feed antibiotics that had once been available OTC required a veterinary feed directive (VFD), and OTC antibiotics delivered in the water required a prescription. However, some antibiotics remained available OTC in the form of injectables, intramammary tubes, boluses, etc.

Over the Counter Antibiotics Transition to Prescription Status

Craig Payne, DVM, MS - Director, Veterinary Extension, University of Missouri

Several antibiotics that are currently available over-the- counter (OTC) for animal use will require a veterinary prescription in the coming months (see table 1 for examples). This change represents the final phase of the Food and Drug Administration’s efforts to bring all medically important antibiotics approved for use in animals under veterinary oversight.

FDA’s Guidance for Industry (GFI) #263 specifically addresses these antibiotics with the expectation that after June 11, 2023, all new product entering distribution channels display the following language on the label: “Caution: Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian.” Once antibiotics with revised labeling appears at veterinary clinics or retail locations, a prescription will be required to sell or dispense these drugs – regardless of the species of animal in which they are used In the meantime, FDA will allow existing stocks of OTC labeled antibiotics to be depleted and no further action by the veterinarian is required

Join Us at the Fair! Volunteers Needed For the MVMA Booth, August 10-20

We’re once again recruiting volunteers to man the MVMA booth at the Missouri State Fair. For first-time volunteers, you will receive a free, official MVMA logoed polo shirt just for helping during a four-hour morning or afternoon shift.

Volunteers also receive free admission and a lunch or dinner ticket to the beef or pork restaurants, plus a great time working with the public.

We’re combining our booth with the MU-CVM booth as a costsaving measure, and CVM students are back this year to back you up.

If you haven’t been to the fair or haven’t had some fun lately, go to the calendar on the movma.org home page to sign up.
