How to use the Prohibited Substances Database

 

The Prohibited Substances Database provides information on the following:

• FEI classification of about 1300 substances into banned substances and controlled medication
• Definition of the substance
• Common usage of the substance
• Common trade names in main markets where available

 

Please note:

The list of trade names is not exhaustive but it reflects the most popular trade names in certain countries.

The trade names used may be different in your country therefore it is imperative you always use the database to check for active substances rather than trade names
