Information obligation

Information to be supplied when selling a veterinary medicinal product

When selling a product, you must provide information about the main features of the product, its price and additional costs. This is called an information obligation. You can read more about this on the Consuwijzer website. This also applies to veterinary medicines. That is why you must provide the consumer who orders the veterinary medicinal product with all information that is important when choosing a veterinary medicinal product. You do this before the consumer orders the veterinary medicinal product. For veterinary medicines, this includes:

• the name of the veterinary medicinal product
• the contents of the package
• the method of administration
• the target animals
• the indication
• the REG NL number
• the active substances
• the withdrawal period if applicable
• important safety warnings, contraindications and side effects

The information must be correct, complete and understandable. And the information must be easy to find.

Insertion of the package leaflet

All this information can also be found in the package leaflet that comes with a veterinary medicinal product.

We therefore advise you to include a link to the package leaflet of the relevant veterinary medicinal product that you are offering and to state the text 'This is a veterinary medicinal product, read the package leaflet before use'.

You can link to the package insert by using the link below:

https://www.diergeneesmiddeleninformatiebank.nl/nl/regnlxxxxx

Instead of the xxxx, enter the numbers associated with the registration number. This number can be found on the outer packaging or in the package leaflet. This is the so-called REG NL number.

At the moment that no REG NL number is mentioned but, for example, a REG NL H number, also in this case you only mention regnl for the number.
