British Pig Veterinary Society: Few New Drugs in Swine
(21.11.2009)At the recently held Conference of the PVS, Dr. Klaus Hellmann gave a presentation on "New Drugs For Swine Disease". The thorough review revealed a bit of frustration picture, as new active ingredients are very rare. New products are mainly Generics, which certainly harmonises the EU market and brings new active ingredients into some countries. However, investment into research for new drugs in swine appear not highly attractive and seem to result in the current lack of new active ingredients in Europe.
