VetLabel.com formats and delivers product label and package insert information directly from the FDA’s central repository. Our customers include members of the public, veterinary professionals and support staff, researchers, and financial analysts covering the pharmaceutical and veterinary industries.

Our Veterinary Product Information

Our database mirrors the FDA’s central repository of drug labels and package inserts under the Structured Product Labeling standard. This HL7 data standard has been adopted by the FDA as its primary mechanism for the exchange of formatted health product information.

Our animal health information, sourced directly from the FDA repository, is transformed from machine-portable XML into a human readable web page, rendered with improved formatting and paginated for readability — but it is not otherwise modified with regard to medical content.

Every medication information entry includes an effective/last revision date, together with full details of the company providing that information to the FDA.

Limitations

Drugs marked “unapproved medical gas”, “unapproved homeopathic” or “unapproved drug other” on this Web site have not been evaluated by FDA for safety and efficacy and their labeling has not been approved.
