Consultation on the Prescription Drug List: Polymyxin B

The purpose of this Notice of Consultation is to provide an opportunity to comment on the proposal to switch certain uses of Polymyxin B to prescription status for veterinary use by adding it to the Veterinary Prescription Drug List (PDL). Currently, Polymyxin B is listed on the Human List except for topical use or for local action in the oral cavity or nasal passage.

A question-and-answer document has also been created to explain some of the changes to the new Prescription Drug List and the administrative process for assigning prescription status.
