Regulation 10 Advertising the product

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(1)

It is an offence to advertise a veterinary medicinal product if the advertisement is misleading or contains any medicinal claim that is not in the summary of product characteristics.

(2)

It is an offence to advertise a human medicine for administration to animals (including sending a price list of or including human medicines to a veterinary surgeon or veterinary practice).

(3)

Paragraph (2) does not apply to the holder of a wholesale dealer’s authorisation who supplies a list of human medicines, together with prices, to a veterinary surgeon for use under the cascade provided that—

(a)

the list is sent following a request from the veterinary surgeon to whom it is sent;

(b)

the veterinary surgeon has specified the type of human medicinal product he wishes to use, and the list is confined to human medicines of that type;

(c)

the list states clearly that the product does not have a marketing authorisation as a veterinary medicinal product, and may only be administered under the cascade; and

(d)

it only includes human medicines that may be administered legally under the cascade.
