FDA not ready to ban the use of antibiotic

By Annie Stewart Friday, November 18, 2011

The USA FDA (Food And Drug Administration) has stated firmly that it believes in judicious use of anti- biotic. The FDA has thus opposed the ban to the use of anti- biotic to the core. Consumers and much other organization have put up this plea since a very long time. It instead believes that this move does not work with legalities and rules. Instead one must deliberately keep this in mind and work accordingly.

 

Another concern from organizations like Center for Science in Public Interest (CSPI) and other associated organizations is that the usage of these antibiotics can later create resistance in human beings and thus the proficiency of the drug is lost when put into action in human bodies. These organizations here are concerned about the herdwide and the flock wide use of the antibiotics. They claim the use of these drugs unnecessary as at present as these animals including chicken, cattle and swine are not afflicted with these diseases. The objective of the use over here is to enhance the growth of these animals and as a precautionary means to keep them disease- free. No doubt; this can surely lead to severe problems in the society.

 

The FDA mentions that the process involved in cancelling the approval of any drug can involve a lot of expenses. It also took the example of diethylstilbestrol and enrofloxacin that took seven and five years respectively. Besides, The FDA incurred around 43.3 billion for the cancellation policy of enrofloxacin alone.

However FACT (Food Animal Concern Trust) and other organizations seem to be frustrated and feel that it is sheer waste to believe that these organizations by themselves will reduce the usage of these antibiotics.
