Sec. 500.25  Anthelmintic drugs for use in animals.

    (a) The Commissioner of Food and Drugs has determined that, in order 
to assure that anthelmintic drugs, including animal feeds bearing or 
containing such drugs, which do not carry the prescription statement are 
labeled to provide adequate directions for their effective use, labeling 
of these anthelmintic drugs shall bear, in addition to other required 
information, a statement that a veterinarian should be consulted for 
assistance in the diagnosis, treatment, and control of parasitism.
    (b) The label and any labeling furnishing or purporting to furnish 
directions for use, shall bear conspicuously the following statement: 
``Consult your veterinarian for assistance in the diagnosis, treatment, 
and control of parasitism.''
