Centre prohibits Nimesulide use for animals after fatal vulture studies reveal toxicity

Credited from: INDIATIMES

  • The Centre has banned the manufacture, sale, and distribution of Nimesulide, a painkiller for animals, due to its toxicity to vultures.
  • This decision follows experiments by the Indian Veterinary Research Institute that identified lethal effects on vultures exposed to the drug.
  • In a controlled study, two vultures treated with Nimesulide died within two days after showing signs of kidney failure.
  • The ban was enforced by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation but concerns remain about the availability of the drug in rural areas.
  • Experts recommend safer alternatives like meloxicam, emphasizing the need for stricter monitoring of veterinary drugs.
