Regulation 10 Advertising the productI1
United Kingdom
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.
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).
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—
the list is sent following a request from the veterinary surgeon to whom it is sent;
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;
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
it only includes human medicines that may be administered legally under the cascade.
