New scheme for medicines
THE Competition Commission has recommended measures to reduce the cost of veterinary medicines. The aim, says the commission, is to increase competition by:
requiring manufacturers and wholesalers to supply prescription-only medicines (POM) to pharmacies on the same terms as to veterinary surgeries
allowing vets to supply POMs to animals not under their care
requiring vets to publicise the availability of written prescriptions (but not to charge for such prescriptions) and the price of their most commonly prescribed POMs.
It is also proposed to reduce the number of medicines requiring prescription.
