AgVetLink for PAR Traders September 2004

What's it all about?

The ACVM Group has received applications from people and organisations who wish to become approved traders in prescription animal remedy (PAR) veterinary medicines. It is apparent from these applications that the concept of trading in PAR products is not clear.

This special issue of AgVetLink has been published to answer frequently asked questions about trading in PARs and to help people understand the new system. It includes information on:

• what constitutes trading in PARs

• who must apply to become a trader

• what must be included in an application

• how veterinarians are affected

• how feed manufacturers are affected

• advertising

• ACVM and HSNO terminology.

The articles should provide sufficient guidance in most cases. However, for unusual circumstances or where it is uncertain what the requirements are in any particular case, contact the ACVM Group.
