CLINICAL DRUG STUDIES

Here at Quakertown Veterinary Clinic we are involved in numerous clinical drug studies in hopes of getting drugs approved by the FDA.

All drugs and medications have been through various laboratory studies and proven to be safe prior to coming to us. We participate in the final testing phase where the drug is administered on actual patients.

The FDA sets specific guidelines that we must follow in order for them to properly analyze the effectiveness of the drug. Neither Quakertown Veterinary Clinic nor the sponsor company control the requirements needed for drug approval.

Many of the drug trials provide free work ups such as free medication, free office visits and various other clinical procedures depending on what the study is based on. This is very beneficial for a family on a tight budget.

Owners are required to comply with study regulations. They may ask you to fill out a logbook, you may have to bring your animal to the clinic to get rechecked within a strict timeframe, etc.

The staff at Quakertown Veterinary Clinic is very proud to participate in the clinical drug studies. It is very rewarding knowing that you were involved in the process of drug approval which can help improve the quality of life to all animals.
