‘Over-regulation inflates veterinary drug prices’

PETALING JAYA: Veterinarians have attributed the increase in veterinary cost to new drug regulations that had limited the number of veterinary medicines available in Malaysia.

Malaysian Small Animal Veterinary Association president (MSAVA) Dr G. Gopinathan said the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) had introduced stringent regulations that cut down the number of drugs being brought into the country.
