[New drugs for horses and production animals in 2020].

Abstract

In 2020, one novel pharmaceutical agent for horses or food-producing animals was released on the German market, rendering the inhaled glucocorticoid ciclesonide (Aservo EquiHaler®) available for horses for the first time. The authorization of one established veterinary active ingredient was extended to an additional species: The anthelmintic fenbendazole (Gallifen®) from the benzimidazole group is now also authorized for pheasants. Additionally, 3\u2005veterinary drugs with a new combination of active ingredients (ketoprofen\u2005+\u2005tilmicosin, ketoprofen\u2005+\u2005tulathromycin, prednisolone\u2005+\u2005lidocaine), 3\u2005agents in a novel pharmaceutical formulation (florfenicol, sodium hydrogen carbonate, prednisolone), one drug (fluralaner) in a new package size as well as a crystalloid balanced whole electrolyte solution with a potential base excess (BEpot) of 0\u2005mmol/l were launched on the market for horses and food-producing animals.
