The paper presents several examples of the use of human medicinal preparations (MP) in veterinary medicine, aiming to compare the indications listed in the summary of product characteristics (SmPC) and the indications in which these MPs are used by veterinarians. For the sake of illustration, two human MPs were selected, which, on the basis of a preceding analysis, were found to be those most widely used in veterinary medicine. A questionnaire survey was employed to find information on the indications in which human MPs are prescribed by veterinarians. The set consisted of 200 veterinary surgeries specializing mainly in small animals. The returnability of the questionnaires was 40%.
