Veterinary medicines

Pharmacy guide

Pharmacists can use this guide to help them when supplying POM-V and POM-VPS medicines against a veterinary prescription, including controlled drugs (CDs) and medicines for administration under the Cascade. It can also be used to support requests for unauthorised veterinary medicines (GSL and P medicines) over-the-counter.
