Veterinary medicine is essential for animals to treat diseases and prevent them. Maintaining the health of pets is the responsibility of every owner. But not all drugs available on the market can be safe and effective.  The specialists of TM ProVET will help you to figure out how to choose the right veterinary drug and not to harm the health of animals.

First, a veterinary drug must undergo a mandatory state registration procedure. In practice, it means that the drug has been tested for efficacy, safety and quality at the state level. The registration of a veterinary drug can be checked on the website of the State Research and Control Institute of Veterinary Drugs and Feed Additives http://vetreg.scivp.lviv.ua/vetprepfnd.php. 

The packaging of the veterinary drug must contain the number of the registration certificate (RP), for example, RP No. AV-06048-01-15. You can also check the validity of the marketing authorization on the website mentioned above.

Drugs that have not passed state registration may contain dangerous active ingredients, incorrect dosages of active ingredients, or ineffective combinations of substances.

Thus, state registration is a mandatory control mechanism and  guarantee of the safety of a veterinary drug. The sale of veterinary drugs in Ukraine without state registration is prohibited and is a violation of the law.

Secondly, give preference to veterinary drugs with certified production for compliance with the requirements of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). Certification according to the European GMP standard means that the manufacturer has appropriate premises, equipment and engineering systems, trained personnel, a product quality control system, and a proper documentation system that ensures the production of high-quality, effective and safe veterinary drugs.

The use of low-quality veterinary drugs can cause allergies, unpredictable side effects, reduced treatment effectiveness, and pose a threat to the life and health of animals. Don't neglect the simple rules for choosing quality veterinary drugs.  Provide timely prevention of your furry friends only with effective and safe veterinary medicines, because this is the key to health and good mood.  

TM ProVET wishes health to you and your pets!
