Persons who can supply veterinary medicinal products may offer such products for sale at a distance only if on their website there is a common logo that has a hyperlink to this website. Veterinary Medicinal Products that require a veterinary prescription cannot be offered for sale at a distance (on-line in a website or any kind of app).
The purpose of this logo is to assist the public in finding out whether a website offering such products for sale at a distance (e.g. over the internet) is authorised for such an activity.
The common logo appearance is as follows (in English and Maltese):
Veterinary Surgeons can order veterinary prescriptions by post using the form ‘Request for Veterinary Prescription Booklets’
The veterinary prescriptions hard copies may eventually be replaced with an electronic veterinary prescription. This is already functional and both prescribers and dispensers can request access to it. This can be done by filling in ‘An application form for access to the Electronic Veterinary Prescription’.
Veterinary Surgeons are encouraged to use only the electronic veterinary prescriptions.
The electronic veterinary prescription offers many advantages, amongst them it improves traceability, decreases errors, facilitates collection of data on use of antimicrobials, facilitates record keeping and permits better control on the use of veterinary medicinal products. This can be accessed from here.
In accordance with Article 57(1) and (2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/63 and with the specific requirements set in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/5784 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/2095 , Member States are to collect relevant and comparable data on the volume of sales of veterinary antimicrobial medicinal products and on the use of antimicrobial medicinal products used in animals per animal species, and to report collated data to the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
Pursuant to the above, wholesale distributors of veterinary medicinal products and medicated feed business operators herein referred to as ‘Data Providers, must provide the Veterinary Medicines Unit with all data relating to volume of sales of antimicrobials. This forms part of an ongoing global and EU/EEA projects for the reviewing of any developments in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in relation with antimicrobial use. Data on the use of antimicrobials (not just sales) is also being collected. This data must be collected also with the support of farmers and veterinary surgeons.
Leaflet on the collection of data on the sales and use of antimicrobials
Inspections are made by the Veterinary Medicines Unit to ascertain conformance with the set requirements. The Veterinary Medicines Unit may also conduct joint inspections with other Units on any establishment where veterinary medicinal products are kept and/or used.
Inspections can be of a routine nature or following an identifiable report. Reports are always treated with strict confidentiality.
Some inspections may be conducted as audits to verify the reliability or veracity of data provided to the Veterinary Medicines Unit, such as data on the sales or use of antimicrobials.
Stakeholders are encouraged to identify and report any activities they perceive as being irregular or illegal to the Veterinary Medicines Unit using the ‘Comments Form.. This can also used to submit complaints or suggestions.
The Veterinary Medicines Unit keeps close contact with its stakeholders. These can be both local ones and also European or international ones. The collaborations include giving university lectures, sharing of information and embarking in common projects. Local ones include the Malta Veterinary Association (MVE), National Antimicrobial Resistance Committee and the University of Malta. The unit regularly undertakes projects with WOAH ( World Organisation for Animal Health), European Medicines Agency (EMA), and Federation of Veterinarians of Europe (FVE).
Any person can use the ‘Reporting Form for Adverse Drug Reactions and Product Defect’ to pass on information of such cases to the Veterinary Medicines Unit.
The form can also be used to report any perceived loss of efficacy, especially in the case of medicines containing antimicrobials.
Marketing Authorisation Holders (MAHs) or their local representatives are required to report to the Veterinary Medicines Unit any defect in a product or a suspected Adverse Drug Reaction, which might necessitate a recall or cause a restriction in supply of a veterinary medicinal product, including those manufactured solely for export. Apart from these any person can report a suspected Product Defect or a suspected Adverse Drug Reaction to the Veterinary Medicines Unit.
The report can be sent to generic e-mail [email protected]. Reports can also be made by telephone. During Monday to Friday between 8:00 to 13:00, reporters can call on telephone number +356 23397043.
Anyone can leave comments, feedbacks or reports using an on-line form.
