When are magistral products permitted?

In specific circumstances, you, as an equine veterinarian, may need to use an alternative treatment requiring a veterinary medicine that is not commonly registered. Additionally, the available administration form or concentration may not be appropriate for the target animal. Under the cascade regulation (Veterinary Medicines Regulation (EU) 2019/6, Articles 112, 113, and 114), it is permissible, under certain conditions, to deviate to another registered veterinary medicine available in the Netherlands or another EU member state. If this alternative is also unavailable, deviation to a human medicinal product registered within the Netherlands or another EU member state is allowed. In situations where these alternatives are not (immediately) available, magistral products offers a potential solution, provided there is a veterinary need. A valid prescription must accompany the request and include the following essential details:

  • The name of the patient;
  • The name of the animal owner;
  • The quantity of the required medicine;
  • The name and full address of the attending equine veterinarian.
