Quality guaranteed: 171 new veterinary products on the Ukrainian market

 

The State Pharmacological Commission of Veterinary Medicine of Ukraine is actively promoting the development of the domestic veterinary medicines market. As a result of 5 meetings held in 2024, 171 veterinary medicines were registered and re-registered. This demonstrates the effective work of the Commission and contributes to the provision of high quality domestic products for livestock. Two more meetings are planned by the end of the year, which will further expand the list of registered medicines.

Experts from the State Scientific-Research Control Institute of Veterinary Medicinal Products and Feed Additives conducted a qualified examination of the registration dossiers, including checking the compliance of the medicines with the requirements of the current legislation, analysing the results of pre-clinical and clinical trials and assessing the quality of production. Based on the results of the comprehensive review, reasonable conclusions were drawn, which formed the basis for the decisions of the State Pharmacological Commission of Veterinary Medicine.

It should be noted that the registered medicinal products include both new developments by domestic and foreign manufacturers and medicinal products that have been re-registered due to the expiry of the previous registration certificate. This comprehensive approach ensures constant updating and expansion of the range of veterinary medicines on the Ukrainian market, which is important for effective treatment of animals and prevention of diseases.
