2 Mitigating Pain in Livestock: What (Legal) Options are Available NIAA 2014 Annual Conference Omaha, Nebraska April 2, 2014 Craig A. Lewis, DVM, MPH, DACVPM Center for Veterinary Medicine U.S. Food and Drug Administration,

3 Outline Background Drugs (approved, unapproved, compounded) Extralabel Drug Use Pain Mitigation from the Literature (Status) Questions Under AMDUCA is extra-label use of analgesics and anesthetics permitted? Is extra-label use of products restricted only to those products that have been approved by FDA and have an NADA or NDA number? 2

4 Pain Mitigation Disease pain Cutaneous Visceral (serosa, distention, swelling) Musculoskeletal (bone, joint, muscle) (Inflammatory) Surgical pain General Localized 3

5 NSAIDs Aspirin Sodium salicylate Flunixin Ketoprofen Diclofenac Phenylbutazone Meloxicam Carprofen Pain Mitigation (from the literature) 4

6 Local anesthetics Lidocaine Mepivacine Bupivacaine Pain Mitigation (from the literature) 5

7 Barbiturates Pentobarbital Thiopental Acepromazine Benzodiasepines Diazepam Midazolam Azaperone Xylazine Pain Mitigation (from the literature) 6

8 Pain Mitigation (from the literature) Butorphanol Medetomidine Ketamine Tiletamine-zolazepam (Telazol) Guaifenesin Tramadol Yohimbine 7

9 Halothane Isoflurane Propofol Guaifenesin Tramadol Pain Mitigation (from the literature) 8

10 Approved Animal Drugs To be legally marketed, an animal drug must be the subject of an approved new animal drug application (NADA) an approved generic application [abbreviated new animal drug] application] (ANADA) a conditional approval an index listing 9

11 Approved Human Drugs To be legally marketed, a human drug must be the subject of an approved new drug application (NDA) an approved generic application [abbreviated new drug application] (ANDA) An OTC Drug Monograph 10

12 Unapproved Animal Drugs No pre-approval review No post-approval monitoring May unfairly compete against approved products Reduces the availability of legal, reviewed, tested and monitored drug products 11

13 Unapproved Animal Drugs Animal drugs illegally marketed in the United States that have not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Unapproved animal drugs have not been reviewed under FDA's legal review processes 12

14 Compounded Animal Drugs If compounded from approved drugs (as starting ingredients) MAY be legal under ELU regulations If compounded from bulk ingredients IS considered an unapproved animal drug Zero tolerance for compounding from bulk ingredients for food-producing animals 13

15 Compounded Animal Drugs Unknown quality control/manufacturing standards Unknown assurance of purity, potency, or stability Potential animal safety and efficacy issues Potential for unknown or unsafe residues Difficult to monitor No reporting requirements (even less than for other unapproved animal drugs) 14

16 Extralabel Drug Use Extralabel is the use of an approved drug in a manner that is not in accordance with the approved label directions. e.g. indication, species, dosage level, frequency, route of administration Allows veterinarians to prescribe extralabel uses of certain approved animal drugs and approved human drugs 15

17 Extralabel Drug Use Such use is limited to treatment modalities when the health of an animal is threatened or suffering or death may result from failure to treat. 16

18 Extralabel Drug Use Must be by or on the order of a veterinarian within the context of a valid veterinarian-client-patient relationship Must not result in violative residues Must be in conformance with all other parts of extralabel drug use regulation (21 CFR Part 530) Must not use drugs prohibited from extralabel use 17

19 Extralabel Drug Use Establish a substantially extended withdrawal period prior to marketing of milk, meat, eggs, or other edible products supported by appropriate scientific information. 18

20 Extralabel Drug Use Take appropriate measures to assure that assigned timeframes for withdrawal are met and no illegal drug residues occur in any food-producing animal subjected to extralabel treatment. 19
