ECO RECEIVES REGISTRATION APPROVAL
FOR TWO NEW AIVLOSIN# PRODUCTS
On 26 and 29 October 2009 ECO Animal Health Group plc announced that its
subsidiary ECO Animal Health Limited (ECO) had received positive opinions from
the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) for two new products:
· A concentrated form of Aivlosin# oral powder for pigs
· Aivlosin# granules for oral solution for medicated drinking water for
pheasants
ECO is now pleased to report that the European Commission has granted
registration approval for both these products and this allows the company to
commence active marketing of them throughout Europe.
The European Commission's approval marks yet another important step in ECO's
continuing development of Aivlosin as a global veterinary product. It will
further extend the marketing reach of Aivlosin#, ECO's patented macrolide
antibiotic, which is used for the treatment of respiratory and enteric diseases
in pigs and poultry.
