Health Ministry Oversees OTC Veterinary Medicines
The Ministry of Health in Kuwait has issued a decision regulating the circulation of prescription veterinary medicines, aiming to enhance oversight over their prescribing, dispensing, and movement. This is to ensure responsible use and to safeguard the health of animals, humans, and the environment. The decision includes establishing strict controls on the use of certain drug categories such as antibiotics, sedatives, stimulants, and medications affecting the central nervous system, to monitor their dispensing according to professional standards. This measure comes within the framework of promoting One Health principles, reducing antimicrobial resistance, supporting the safety of animal products, and ensuring food security and public health. The goal of the decision is to minimize unregulated use and to regulate the dispensing of veterinary medicines through legislation that links human and animal health, while also raising awareness of the risks associated with irresponsible use of medications.
