Purchasing medication for animal research
UiB has entered into a purchase agreement with the Norwegian Medicinal Depository (NMD) on medicines
This resulted in some changes in routines for ordering medicines for animals from October 1, 2018
- Veterinary prescription* must be attached to the order itself, which is in the UiB's ordering system (baseware)
- Delivery of the order takes place to the Goods Receipt at the individual department
- Alternatively, you can pick up the product yourself at Vitus Apotek Nordstjernen at Bergen Storsenter
- For delivery the same week, the order must be sent by Tuesday at 1200
- Delivery the same week will then be during Thursday the same week
* Veterinary prescription must be obtained before this deadline.
As a result of this change, it is important that the researchers are out in good time for ordering medicines for animals.
Recipient is responsible for keeping medicines locked up when not in use

Use of antimicrobial drugs

The ministry can make regulations and list of antmicrobial drigs not for use in animals
Use of Non-Pharmaceutical-Grade Chemicals and Other Substances
The use of pharmaceutical-grade chemicals and other substances ensures that toxic or unwanted side effects are not introduced into studies conducted with experimental animals. They should therefore be used, when available, for all animal-related procedures
- Prescription for drugs to animals can only be made by a veterinarian
- Outdated drugs used in research animals may adversely affect the animals' health and welfare or may confuse research results
