Daily News | Veterinarians rely on xylazine. They say a new Shapiro administration rule could jeopardize that in Pa.
HARRISBURG — Veterinarians around Pennsylvania are concerned that a new rule proposed by Gov. Josh Shapiro’s administration to mitigate the opioid epidemic will leave them unable to access a sedative necessary to treat animals.he was directing the state Department of Health to schedule xylazineXylazine is a legal veterinary sedative used to treat large animals such as horses and cattle.
As a Schedule III drug, the state will mandate tighter record keeping, require the drug be stored in locked facilities, and give law enforcement the ability to prosecute people for illegally possessing and selling it. Manufacturers must also create additional checks to ensure that the person who ordered the drug is the one receiving it. Other Schedule III drugs include anabolic steroids and Tylenol with codeine, which are classified by the U.S.
Few states have scheduled xylazine as a controlled substance. But such policies have already started to cause problems, Gingrich said. Florida was the first state to schedule xylazine in 2016 as a Schedule I drug. Rick Sutliff, a past president of the Florida Veterinary Medical Association, toldthat the association didn’t even realize it was a controlled substance in the state until about six months ago and has had little effect on their work.
Shapiro’s press secretary, Manuel Bonder, said in an email that the administration has met with veterinarians before and after the announcement to “determine what approach best maintains veterinarians’ access to legal xylazine” and will urge manufacturers to keep producing the drug.
