Essential Veterinary Medicines List

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.

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

Prostaglandins- prostaglandins and its analogs are used mainly for their luteolytic effects to induce a predictable onset of estrus or to synchronize estrus in a variety of species. They may also be used for termination of pregnancy, either alone or in combination with corticosteroids. These compounds also cause marked uterine contractions, which may be useful for expulsion of uterine contents in pathologic conditions

Quinolones- The fluoroquinolones are active against a wide range of gram-negative organisms and several gram-positive aerobes. These include E coli, Salmonella, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Proteus, and generally P aeruginosa. Fluoroquinolones are active against intracellular pathogens, including Brucella spp. Quinolones also have substantial activity against Mycoplasma, Rickettsia, and Chlamydia spp. (Reference: MSD Veterinary Manual)

Hydroxyquinolones- efficacy for treatment and prevention of coccidiosis

Sedatives and Anaesthetic Agents

Corticosteroid- commonly to treat allergy and inflammation such as pruritic dermatoses and allergic lung and gastrointestinal diseases

Vitamins and Minerals- treatment of metabolc disorders

Fluid Therapy- Fluids must be administered that will concentrate within the body fluid compartment where the volume deficit lies. Crystalloids are water-based solutions with small-molecular-weight particles, freely permeable to the capillary membrane. Colloids are water-based solutions with a molecular weight too large to freely pass across the capillary membrane. Colloids are thought of as intravascular volume replacement solutions, and crystalloids as interstitial volume replacement solutions
