Withdrawal of the withdrawal period for glucosamine as a feed supplement

Glucosamine for human use is classified as a medicinal product and has therefore had a 96-hour withdrawal period for competition in the withdrawal list. The Medical Products Agency has now clarified that if it is present in feed supplements for horses, it is not considered a medicinal product for animals. Therefore, the withdrawal period for glucosamine is removed if it is given as a feed supplement.
