Veterinary medicine cabinet
The veterinary house pharmacy (abbreviation in Austria: TÄ-HAPO ) is a form of pharmacy for storing and dispensing medicines for animals.
Germany
The legal framework in Germany is Section 67 of the Medicines Act and the Ordinance on Veterinary House Pharmacies (TÄHAV). Veterinary house pharmacies are located in the rooms of practicing veterinarians as well as in clinics and veterinary training facilities. The farm is notifiable and the responsibility lies with a licensed veterinarian.
The rooms must guarantee the proper production, testing, storage and dispensing of the drugs. In addition, all relevant legal provisions must be up-to-date. Medicines may only be given to animal owners by the veterinarian for the treatment of animals or livestock if a veterinary examination has preceded it and the success of the treatment can be checked. There is an obligation to provide evidence of the acquisition, testing and whereabouts of the medicinal products.
Austria
In Austria, Section 13 of the Veterinary Act (TÄG), Section 6 of the Medicines Works Regulations and the Ordinance of the Austrian Chamber of Veterinarians on the acquisition of the additional qualification to run a house pharmacy (House Pharmacy Qualification Ordinance, HApoQualVO) regulate the operation of a veterinary house pharmacy. According to this, veterinarians must complete 20 hours in the field of drug application and pass a technical examination before registering a medicine cabinet. The management of the pharmacy and the dispensing of medicines are only permitted by veterinarians. At least one room must be available for the storage and dispensing of drugs, which then may not be used for other purposes.
