(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order replaces the Medicines (Veterinary Drugs) (Prescription Only) Order 1985.

The Order specifies descriptions and classes of medicinal products (being veterinary drugs) for the purposes of section 58 of the Medicines Act 1968. Intermediate feed is now specifically excluded from the definition of “prescription only medicine”. The Order states that veterinary surgeons and veterinary practitioners are to be appropriate practitioners for the purpose of that section in relation to such products (articles 2 and 3). Certain medicinal products are not prescription only products (article 4). By virtue of section 58 such products may be sold or supplied by retail only in accordance with a prescription given by a veterinary surgeon or veterinary practitioner and may be administered only by or in accordance with the directions of such a person. The Order also confers exemptions from those restrictions (articles 5, 6 and 7) and prescribes conditions which must be fulfilled if a sale or supply is to be taken as being in accordance with a prescription (article 8). A defence is now available to an appropriate practitioner who, having exercised all due diligence, sells or supplies a prescription only medicine against a forged prescription (article 9).
