Off-Label Use of Registered Veterinary Chemical Products
Off-label use is the application of a registered product in a way not exactly specified on the product label. In Victoria, veterinary chemical products administered to cattle, sheep, pigs, or chickens (Gallus domestica) must not be used, other than in accordance with the product label unless:
- the person administering the product is a veterinary surgeon
- the administration has been authorised in writing by a veterinary surgeon, or
- the dose rate is less than that stated on the label for that particular species and for that particular use.
