Essential Veterinary Medicines List

Macrocyclic lactones- potent, broad antiparasitic spectrum at low dose levels. They are active against many immature nematodes (including hypobiotic larvae) and arthropods.

Sedatives and Anaesthetic Agents

NSAID- All NSAIDs, except for acetaminophen are antipyretic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory.

Selection of vaccines from the Model List will need to be determined by each country after consideration of international recommendations, epidemiology and national priorities.
We note the need for vaccines to be polyvalent.

Benzimidazole-broad spectrum of activity against roundworms (nematodes) and trematodes, an ovicidal effect, and a wide safety margin

Pyrethroid- insecticides and acaricides for the treatment of a broad range of ectoparasites

Aminoglycosides- Streptomycin and dihydrostreptomycin are characterized by narrow spectra, and efficacy is limited by bacterial resistance. Gram-negative bacilli are still susceptible, including strains of Actinomyces bovis, Pasteurella spp, E coli, Salmonella spp, Campylobacter fetus, Leptospira spp, and Brucella spp. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is also sensitive to streptomycin.

The spectra of neomycin, framycetin, and kanamycin are broader, with clinical use targeting gram-negative organisms, including E coli and Salmonella, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Proteus, and Acinetobacter spp. Aminoglycosides with spectra that include P aeruginosa (gentamicin, tobramycin, amikacin, sisomicin, and netilmicin) are also often highly effective against a wide variety of aerobic bacteria.

Triazapentadiene- broad-spectrum insecticide and acaricide

Penicillins- Beta-lactam antimicrobials impair the development of bacterial cell walls by interfering with transpeptidase enzymes responsible for the formation of the cross-links between peptidoglycan strands. These enzymes are associated with a group of proteins in both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria called the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). (Reference: MSD Veterinary Manual)

Polyene macrolides- broad antifungal activity against organisms ranging from yeasts to filamentous fungi and from saprophytic to pathogenic fungi
