2005 Minnesota Statutes - 156.19 — Extra-label use.

     156.19 Extra-label use. 


    A person, other than a veterinarian or a person working 
 under the control of a veterinarian, must not make extra-label 
 use of a veterinary drug in or on a food-producing animal, 
 unless permitted by the prescription of a veterinarian.  A 
 veterinarian may prescribe the extra-label use of a veterinary 
 drug if: 


    (1) the veterinarian makes a careful medical diagnosis 
 within the context of a valid veterinarian-client-patient 
 relationship; 


    (2) the veterinarian determines that there is no marketed 
 drug specifically labeled to treat the condition diagnosed, or 
 that drug therapy as recommended by the labeling has, in the 
 judgment of the attending veterinarian, been found to be 
 clinically ineffective; 


    (3) the veterinarian recommends procedures to ensure that 
 the identity of the treated animal will be carefully maintained; 
 and 


    (4) the veterinarian prescribes a significantly extended 
 time period for drug withdrawal before marketing meat, milk, or 
 eggs.
