Essential Veterinary Medicines List

Benzene and substituted derivatives

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

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

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

Tetracyclines- All tetracyclines are about equally active and typically have about the same broad spectrum, which comprises both aerobic and anaerobic gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, mycoplasmas, rickettsiae, chlamydiae, and even some protozoa (amebae). (Reference: MSD Veterinary Manual)

Nematophagous fungi- zootechnical feed additive intended to control pathogenic nematodes on pasture

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.

Azole- treatment of systemic and topical fungal infections, including aspergillosis, dermatophytosis

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)
