List of Approved Medically Important Antimicrobial Drugs Administered in the Feed of Food-Producing Animals that Lack a Defined Duration of Use

Since January 2017, as a result of the implementation of Guidance for Industry (GFI) #213, medically important antimicrobials administered in the feed or water of food-producing animals are only available for use through a licensed veterinarian. However, a limited number of currently approved medically important antimicrobials administered through animal feed include indications that lack a defined duration of use. All new animal drug applications on the list below have been identified as medically important antimicrobial drug products approved for use in feed that have one or more indications without a defined duration of use. There are currently no such products approved for use in water with an undefined duration of use.

Establishing durations of use for these applications is a continuation of FDA’s antimicrobial stewardship efforts. Our primary objective is to update product dosage regimens to better target when and for how long the drug may be used. Defining more targeted durations of use for the affected applications supports the FDA's ongoing efforts to slow the development of antimicrobial resistance by fostering the judicious use of medically important antimicrobial drugs in animals. This important work helps to preserve the effectiveness of these antimicrobials in both veterinary and human medicine and is one of the actions highlighted in CVM’s five-year plan for supporting antimicrobial stewardship in veterinary settings.

In fall 2020, we intend to publish a draft strategy that addresses how to establish defined durations of use for the affected applications identified in the below list. We expect this document will outline a proposed process, including time periods, sponsors can follow to revise the approved conditions of use accordingly.

FDA intends to seek public comment on the draft strategy prior to finalization and implementation. Given the significant scientific and technical challenges, including the potential need to generate appropriate supporting information/data, we anticipate that this initiative will require a substantial period of time to fully complete.
