OVER THE COUNTER MEDICATIONS (OTC) IMPACTED BY NEW FDA PRESCRIPTION REQUIREMENTS INITIATIVE

Here is one for enrofloxacin (Baytril)

Yeah, I know it's banned for use in poultry, but many people still use it.

I saw some research being done with it for MS/MG along the lines of a permanent "cure" w/o carriers.

I don't understand why a product that's banned for poultry use would be somehow a "green light" to go ahead and give it to them anyway....?

I think it's clear WHY the FDA is taking these meds back to prescription use; I think they need to continue and get them ALL. That's just irresponsible husbandry to think that we can just "use it anyway".

That's sad.

Some of what I've read about Baytril is the fluoride containing derivatives have high oral availability, and quickly absorbed in the GI tract and widely distributed to the tissues. Which explains why people use it. Research has found residues in liver and kidney. (I'm not okay with that. I had a loved pet rooster who died of renal damage/failure, of other causes not drug). Elimination pathways have not been extensively studied in avian species.

Oh, @JanetMarie, that was sarcasm... I DO understand what its for, etc...

I was simply stating how I don't understand WHY people assume they know better than the FDA, or why a person wouldn't wonder what they're actually doing other than sticking a known harmful substance into what I really hope isn't a meat bird or egg producer that's going to end up in the commercial food supply is all.

That's why I see it as "sad".

Meh, just IMHO ;)

I could see that, but in quoting you I'm hoping to enlighten those who haven't searched it out.
