Methiocarb Proposed Regulatory Decisions

After consideration of all data and assessments, the APVMA has concluded that the use of methiocarb according to its current instructions for use does not meet the safety criteria listed in sections 5A of the Agvet Code for continued registration and approval.

Therefore, the proposed regulatory decisions are that methiocarb active approvals and product registrations can continue provided the product labels are updated to delete, add or amend certain use patterns, amend safety directions and first aid instructions, add restraint statements and amend withholding periods.
