What is the AVMAs position on the CPG?
AVMA’s Council on Biologic and Therapeutic Agents (COBTA) is in communication with the FDA on the subject of the CPG. The Council is supportive of most of the aspects of the CPG, namely that piracy is clearly denounced. The Council is however seeking ways to more clearly specify that regulatory discretion should exist for veterinarians that prescribe and pharmacists that prepare medically necessary drugs compounded from bulk ingredients for specific pets when no such approved drugs exist.
