USP Veterinary Clinical Drug Information Monographs
USP no longer develops or maintains Veterinary Clinical Drug Monographs, and those previously available from USP are now available at the website of the American Academy of Veterinary Pharmacology & Therapeutics (AAVPT). This includes monographs on the use of anthelmintics, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and compounded medications in animals. In September 2009, USP transferred sole ownership of and full rights to these monographs to AAVPT, including the right to update and revise them in the future as it deems appropriate, and USP no longer has any responsibility, obligation or liability arising out of such monographs.
