Pesticide active ingredients veterinary

In the USA, regulation of OP veterinary medicines is broadly similar to that in the EU but a major difference is that veterinary ectoparasiticides are regulated by the USEPA under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) as amended, as pesticides. The Food and Drug Administration s Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) regulates active ingredients that exert an effect by systemic absorption and distribution under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (1938) as amended.
