Who can prescribe nfa-vps?

• A. Vet, Pharmacist, SQP - non food animal
• B. Vet only
• C. Pharmacist only
• D. SQP only

Answer: (A)

NFA-VPS medicines are intended for non-food animals and can be prescribed by three types of qualified professionals. A veterinary surgeon can diagnose and prescribe as part of care. A pharmacist can prescribe and supply these medicines within their professional scope. An SQP, someone with recognized qualifications in animal health care, can also prescribe NFA-VPS products for non-food animals. This mix of prescribers is what makes the combined option correct—it reflects the regulatory allowance that non-food animal medicines can be prescribed by vets, pharmacists, or SQPs. Excluding any one group wouldn’t fit the way NFA-VPS medicines are regulated and made accessible in typical practice.
