Veterinary Drug Regulations in BC
The sale of veterinary drugs in specially licenced businesses, permitted under the Pharmacists, Pharmacy Operations and Drug Scheduling Act of British Columbia, began in 1968 mainly to provide the livestock producer with access to some pharmaceuticals in remote areas of the province where there was no veterinary or pharmacist service. The Pharmacists, Pharmacy Operations and Drug Scheduling Act is administered on behalf of the Ministry of Health by the College of Pharmacists, but the sections pertaining to veterinary drugs are administered by the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands.
