title: [The Veterinary Drug Act and the practitioner].
abstract: The consequences of the Veterinary Medicinal Products Act to veterinary practitioners are described and assessed. Registration is favourably regarded, although there is a variety of views on directing veterinary drugs into specific channels, partly positive, partly negative. The position of the Group of Large Animal Practitioners of the Royal Netherlands Veterinary Association with regard to vaccination policy and 'mail-order veterinarians' is reported. In conclusion, a discrepancy in government policy is pointed out.
