Direct animal healthcare professional communications

The European Medicines Agency publishes direct animal healthcare professional communications (DaHPC) at the EU level to inform veterinarians and other animal healthcare professionals about important safety information regarding veterinary medicines.

date:  03/06/2024

A marketing authorisation holder may also send a DaHPC to inform of, for example, a suspension of a marketing authorisation for safety reasons, important changes on contraindications in the recommended dose, supply shortage and/or quality problems with veterinary medicines.

Veterinarians and other animal health practicioners are encouraged to regularly consult the list of DaHPC agreed upon at the EU level and published by EMA.
