New edition of Veterinary Formulary available
 A fully revised sixth edition of the Veterinary Formulary is now available from the Pharmaceutical Press (the publishing arm of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society).
The book is published as a reference source for veterinary surgeons,
pharmacists and others involved with animal health care. It is produced
in collaboration with the British Veterinary Association and includes
the BVA code of practice.
The new edition has been updated and revised by 51 expert contributors
and reviewed by an advisory committee of vets and pharmacologists. The
book is edited by Yolande Bishop, a practising vet and a freelance writer
and editor who was formerly a member of the Society’s publications
staff. The book includes 780 drug monographs, of which 55 are
new and the rest have been updated. It also gives information on 1,650
UK veterinary
preparations and preparation and animal dosage details for more than
700 human-authorised products.
The book’s existing sections have been rearranged to reflect current
veterinary practice. Topics covered in new sections include prescribing
for rabbits, avian pneumovirus, mycoplasmosis, neonicotinoids, canine
pheromonatherapy and teat sealants. A new table gives husbandry requirements
for common pet terrestrial invertebrates and there is a new appendix
on drug interactions.
The 592-page hardback book is priced at £75 but is being offered
at a special price of £60 for all orders placed before 30 November.
Orders can be placed with Pharmaceutical Press Customer Services (tel
