The VMD is the UK government agency responsible for the controls on veterinary medicines in the UK, including their authorisation, manufacture and supply.
Any product in the UK that makes a veterinary medicinal claim must be authorised. You can tell if a veterinary medicine is authorised as it will include English language labelling that it's important that you read and understand. The label will include a unique UK marketing authorisation number, which will appear in one of the following formats:
Alternatively, the product may include a statement "This veterinary medicine is marketed in accordance with Schedule 6 of the Veterinary Medicines Regulations - Exemptions for small pet animals" or similar on the label and packaging.
There are four classifications of authorised veterinary medicines:
You can use the VMD's Product Information Database to check if a product is authorised and its classification, or to search for a UK-authorised veterinary medicine. The search facility allows you to search by trade name, active substance, species, legal classification and many other options. Each product has a Summary of Product Characteristics (SPCs) that tells you all about the medicine.
For more information visit the VMD's Product Information Database here:
http://www.vmd.defra.gov.uk/ProductInformationDatabase/.
It is an offence to:
1. Alter a prescription issued by a vet, pharmacist or SQP e.g.
2. Fraudulently produce a prescription e.g.
We carefully check all prescriptions and will report suspected prescription misuse to the VMD or the police.
No medicine is risk free and all medicines have the potential to cause adverse effects. Some of the adverse effects are known about and these are explained in the product's SPC. Others that may only rarely occur or are specific for certain breeds or groups of animals may only be seen when the products are used more widely.
If you suspect that you or your animal has had an adverse reaction to a veterinary medicine, or you think the medicine hasn't worked as it should have done, report it to the VMD using the form available via this link: https://www.vmd.defra.gov.uk/adversereactionreporting/.
If you have a complaint about the quality of a veterinary medicine please contact us in the first instance. You can find our contact information in our 'Contact Us' page. However, if you feel that we haven't resolved your complaint satisfactorily, you can contact the VMD; [email protected]
Please note that the VMD will only consider complaints about veterinary medicines, not about service, delivery or cost and not about non-medicinal products.
