Animal Drug Fees Reauthorized: Faster Approvals and Stronger Fight Against Antibiotic Resistance.

This efficiency can lead to quicker access to necessary treatments for pets and livestock, and potentially lower costs for generic medications. Crucially, the act mandates enhanced reporting and activities focused on combating antimicrobial resistance in veterinary settings, which is vital for public health safety.
Key points
