Sec. 655.400 The Status of Syringes and Needles for Animal Use (CPG 7125a.03)
BACKGROUND:
Since there are on the market a number of injectable drugs for animal use which are
approved for over-the-counter sale, it follows that the needles and syringes necessary to
deliver such drug to the animal must likewise be available without prescription. *CVM*,
therefore, has never sought to require that needles and syringes be restricted to
prescription legend use. *CVM* is aware, however, that in certain areas devices of this
nature may be restricted to prescription sale by local or state laws.
POLICY:
*CVM* will not concur in regulatory action against needles and syringes intended for animal use merely because they are distributed without prescription legend labeling.
