What are the 2 definitions of veterinary medicinal products?

• A. "1) any substance or combination presented as having properties for treating or preventing disease in animals."
• B. "1) any substance or combination presented as having properties for treating or preventing disease in animals; 2) any substance or combination that may be used in or administered to animals with a view either to restoring, correcting or modifying physiological functions by exerting a pharmacological, immunological or metabolic action or to making a medical diagnosis."
• C. "A single substance that cures diseases in animals."
• D. "Any feed additive used in livestock."

Answer: (B)

The fundamental idea is that veterinary medicinal products are defined in two parts, covering both therapeutic use and broader physiological or diagnostic roles. The best answer combines both: a substance or combination presented as having properties for treating or preventing disease in animals, and, separately, any substance or combination used in or given to animals to restore, correct or modify physiological functions by pharmacological, immunological or metabolic action, or to aid in making a medical diagnosis. This broad two-part definition explains why medicines aren’t limited to cures alone and why substances used to diagnose or to alter bodily functions also fall under veterinary medicinal products. It also clarifies why feed additives or products that merely claim to cure aren’t the right scope.
