Welcome to the web version of the NOAH Compendium of Data Sheets for Animal Medicines.

The data sheets in this Compendium are prepared independently by each participating company and each proof is checked and the text confirmed as correct by the participant concerned. The responsibility for accuracy lies with the participating company. The National Office of Animal Health Ltd (NOAH) gives no guarantee whatsoever as to the accuracy of the information contained in the data sheets and accepts no liability whatsoever in respect of any loss, damage or expense arising from any such information or for any error or omission in the data sheets and in particular (but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) shall not be liable for any consequential damages or expenses or any loss of profits or any liability to third parties incurred by anyone relying on the information contained in the data sheets appearing in this Compendium.

The printed version of Compendium of Data Sheets will continue to be published annually by NOAH: the 2008 edition is now available. To order copies of the book, please click here for an order form. The information on the web version may at any time supersede that published in the book, and should be taken as the more up-to-date version, as it will contain changes and additions as variations to marketing authorisations are approved.

Products can be accessed by an alphabetical index of their names, by active ingredient, by therapeutic indication, and according to the species for which they are licensed for use. To do this, click the appropriate section on the Compendium home page. A list of participating companies is given.

There is also a text search facility.

Data sheets (which may take the form of a Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) as an alternative to a traditional data sheet) are supplied to veterinary surgeons as a customer service - under the Veterinary Medicines Regulations, there is no longer any legal obligation to do so.

They are prepared by the individual companies concerned and, in consequence, vary somewhat in style.

Many data sheets include additional material under the heading 'Further information'. Manufacturers are always willing to provide additional information on their products upon request. Enquiries should be directed to the companies concerned.

The data sheets included in the 2008 book edition were prepared or reviewed between August and September 2007 and the Compendium itself was published in November 2007. Companies may choose to highlight significant changes or new products in the New and updated data sheets section.

Individual participating companies may issue loose leaf data sheets which supersede those included in the book version of the Compendium. It is advisable to retain any such revised data sheets which are received and to appropriately mark the relevant entries in the Compendium. Use the web version as the most up-to-date reference.

The ™ symbol by the name of a product indicates that the name is a trade mark: however, the absence of the symbol should not be considered confirmation that the name is not a trade mark. The company symbols which appear in certain participants' sections are also trade marks.
