[New drugs for horses and production animals in 2021]

In 2021, one novel pharmaceutical agent for horses or food-producing animals was released on the German market, making the anti-haemorrhagic etamsylate (Hemosilate) available for horses, cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, dogs and cats, for the first time. The authorization of one established veterinary active ingredient was extended to an additional species: The endectocide eprinomectin (Eprecis^®) from the group of macrocyclic lactones was also approved for sheeps and goats. Additionally, two veterinary formulations with a new active substance content (bromhexine, tiamulin) and one active ingredient in a novel pharmaceutical formulation (indigo carmine stained intramammary suspension with heavy bismuth subnitrate) appeared on the market. Furthermore, one active ingredient (oxytetracycline) is again available for horses on the market for horses and food-producing animals.
