No marketing authorisations for OP-based veterinary medicines have been revoked during the past 5 years. Products may from time to time be withdrawn from the market but this is a matter for the authorisation holders.

A list of organophosphate-based pesticide products currently approved by MAFF for use in the UK has been placed in the Library.

Pesticide products may have their approvals revoked for a number of reasons. These include the commercial withdrawal of products from the market by the approval holder or approval holders not meeting data submission deadlines set by Ministers to support the continued approval of their products. A list of the MAFF-approved organophosphate-based pesticide products that have been revoked since 1 April 1993 has been placed in the Library.
