Emirates Arzneimittel bans veterinary Ciprofloxacin
The Emirates Pharmaceutical Authority announced that it will impose a ban on the use of the active substance "Ciprofloxacin" in the veterinary sector in the United Arab Emirates starting from November 1, 2026. This measure aims to reduce antimicrobial resistance and promote the safe use of antibiotics. The decision comes after a scientific risk assessment of the use of this substance, which is considered a critically important antibiotic for human medicine, as inappropriate use in animals could lead to the development of bacterial resistance and diminish the effectiveness of treatments. The ban includes nine veterinary products, along with measures to identify affected products, halt their import and manufacturing, and monitor the compliance of facilities. It also involves organizing the disposal of stock, all in an effort to protect human and animal health and combat drug resistance.
