This is to allow the supply of extemporaneous product which is made direct to the end user by a third party who is a ManSA holder, in cases where the procedures set out in the attached are observed.
This decision has immediate effect and will last until 31 August and then cease.
The Veterinary Medicines Regulations 2013 continue to apply.
The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) have issued guidance for veterinary professionals on how to continue to undertake veterinary work.
