Comparative aspects of veterinary and medical Pharmacy

The development of veterinary science is unthinkable without the development of veterinary pharmacy. Due to the withdrawal from the market of a number of foreign companies producing veterinary drugs, on the one hand, there is tension in the quality of provision of some veterinary drugs, and on the other hand, there is an opportunity to increase their competence in this area themselves. We have analyzed scientific publications, educational publications and the regulatory framework of the Russian Federation in order to compare the aspect of veterinary and medical pharmacy. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that the development of formulas, and then the use of the same medicinal, preventive and disinfecting substances in veterinary and medical practice has an undoubted advantage in terms of saving financial investments in the production and testing of the drug. Nevertheless, the difference in the clinical trial of drugs for medical and veterinary use is significant. To expand the production of veterinary drugs, specialists with pharmaceutical veterinary education are currently required.
