FDA Requirements and Animal Drugs
Many animal drugs are generic versions of human drugs. For example, a veterinarian may prescribe prednisone for a pet with an inflammatory condition. This is the same drug humans can get with a doctor's prescription.
Animal drugs, however, are different than human drugs. For example, drugs made for livestock are meant to be mixed with feed.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) tests human drugs for safety. They may not do the same level of testing on drugs made for animals.3
