Philippines: Philippine Food and Drug Administration Clarifies Jurisdiction on Veterinary Drug Products
The Philippine Food and Drug Administration (PFDA) reiterated its jurisdiction on the regulation of veterinary drug products. The PFDA clarified that it shall regulate finished products for therapeutic purposes for animals, including veterinary drugs, medicated feed products, and antimicrobials. The PFDA has yet to issue specific guidelines for veterinary drugs. Meanwhile, it currently adopts Health Canada’s guidance document in classifying veterinary drugs and feed products. The Philippine Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Animal Industry also continues to regulate animal feed products.
