TSCRA Daily News Update, August 22, 2008
FDA extends the comment period on cephalosporin use The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has extended the comment period on a final rule for the prohibition of the antibiotic cephalosporin to Nov. 1, 2008. The effective date of the final rule has also been pushed back to Nov. 30. The extension is in response to requests for more time to examine the available evidence on cephalosporin and consider potential long-term impacts. The order prohibiting the extra-label use of cephalosporin antimicrobial drugs in food-producing animals was originally announced in the Federal Register on July 3 with a 60-day comment period and a 90-day effective date for the final rule. Additional information on the rule can be found on FDA's website at: http://www.fda.gov/cvm/CVM_Updates/CVMupdateCepha_QA.htm.
