Changes to exemptions from Veterinary Medicines Regulations for small pet animals

placeholder

The VMD has made some changes to how you apply, to include:

  • a new active substance in a medicine for a small pet animal that is exempt from the VMR under Schedule 6 (that is a medicine that does not have to be authorised)
  • a new route of administration or target species for an active substance that is already approved

and how we assess the application.

Certain changes will be effective immediately and will apply to all applications for new active substances.
