In summary, as the human-animal companies bond continues to grow and gain importance, veterinarians are expected to practice a higher quality of medicine. The pharmacist is in a position to assist the veterinarian in obtaining this goal. Familiarity with veterinary medicine, dosage forms, and animal drugs is useful to the pharmacist who acts as an advisor, reference source, and compounder to the veterinarian, the public, and members of the health care team.

In human medicine, the majority of drugs are formulated as oral dosage forms. Concerns of user non-compliance have led to the development of sustained release formulations. While user noncompliance is also a concern in veterinary medicine, the focus is on the pet owner administering the drug. 

Drug Product The drug product (DP), also known as finished product or dosage form, is the DS formulated with inactive ingredients (excipients) for appropriate delivery to either human or veterinary patients. 

For further discussion of bioequivalence the reader should refer to review of the 1993 Veterinary Drug Bioequivalence Workshop (Martinez Riviere, 1994), the review paper Veterinary drug bioequivalence determination (Toutain Koritz, 1997) and the chapter entitled Bioavailability bioequivalence assessments (Martinez Berson, 1998) in Development and Formulation of Veterinary Dosage Forms, 2nd edn.
