		<description><![CDATA[There are thousands of unapproved animal drugs on the market, a reality that concerns both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the AVMA.

Veterinarians utilize drugs every day in the course of their clinical practice, yet the way drugs are regulated by the government is a mystery to many veterinarians.
