New Animal Drugs; Cephalosporin Drugs; Extralabel Animal Drug Use; Order of Prohibition

요약

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing an order prohibiting the extralabel use of cephalosporin antimicrobial drugs in food-producing animals. We are issuing this order based on evidence that extralabel use of these drugs in food-producing animals will likely cause an adverse event in humans and, as such, presents a risk to the public health.
