Drug Classifications In Horse Medications - #011 The Horse’s Advocate Podcast

There are three fundamental classes of medications in horses that I want to describe today to help horse owners understand what they are and why there is a price difference.

Legend drugs are original products protected by patents and sold under a famous marketed name. The FDA approves these to meet strict standards.

Generic drugs are almost exact copies of legend drugs without a fancy and well-known name. The FDA also approves these to meet strict standards.

Compounded drugs are mixes of similar ingredients but not the same as the legend drugs. The strict standards of the FDA do NOT control them.
