Ceva Animal Health found in breach of NOAH code
NOAH has regulated the content and quality of advertisements, leaflets and promotional activities through its Code of Practice since 1974.
Promotion found to be inconsistent with SPC

NOAH’s code of practice committee has found Ceva Animal Health to be in breach of its code on promotion.

The committee ruled that the PRID® Delta Brochure PR152-L246-0615-1K and its use at the British Cattle Veterinary Association Congress in October last year, was in breach of clause 4.4 (iv) of the Code of Practice.

Clause 4.4 (iv) states that: “Any information or claim in a Promotion of Animal Medicines must not be inconsistent with the SPC”.

The brochure was found to promote off-label use of the product which is inconsistent with the summary of product characteristics (SPC).

NOAH represents the UK animal medicines industry which has regulated the content and quality of advertisements, leaflets and promotional activities through its Code of Practice since 1974.

Further details of the ruling will be made available shortly.

Organised by the Responsible Use of Medicines Alliance Companion Animal and Equine (RUMA CA&E), the initative is supported by a range of cross-sector organisations.

Practices are encouraged to use the campaign to engage the whole practice team and raise awareness of the safe disposal of medicines with clients. Learn how your practice can get involved at rumacae.org.uk
