The content specified by GMP is the most basic condition that pharmaceutical processing enterprises must meet. The international concept of drugs includes veterinary drugs. Only a few countries, such as China and Australia, separate GMP of drugs for human use from GMP of veterinary drugs. However, relevant sources said that on the whole, most of the GMP upgrades of veterinary drugs in China were modified in the GMP of human drugs. The promulgation of the new Drug Administration Law may have an impact on the way and intensity of veterinary drug supervision.
