When antiparasitic medicines become prescription-only, from January 28, 2022, substitute medicines will be allowed, rather than particular branded veterinary medicines.
This will sustain competition for all suppliers of veterinary medicines, to the benefit of Irish farmers and their livestock, said Agriculture Minister Charlie McConalogue.
