The Ministry of Agriculture and Health is setting conditions for the marketing of antibiotics to animals

The Ministry of Agriculture and Health in Tunisia today issued a joint resolution with the official leader to regulate the conditions for prescribing and marketing antimicrobials in the animal sector. This joint procedure aims to regulate the use of antibiotics in veterinary medicine according to specific controls.

The new measures include setting criteria for prescribing and marketing veterinary medicines to address health risks associated with the spread of unregulated treatments. The decision aims to reduce resistance to bacteria and veterinary medicines while working to protect the health of consumers and the safety of herds within public health requirements.
