In 2022, Stokes Healthcare formed a partnership with Bova Global which would bring their unique formulations of medications to the US.
The Bova Group comprises Bova Aus and Bova UK. Bova Aus has been operational since 1968 and is the largest veterinary compounder in Australia, catering to numerous veterinarians nationwide. Bova Aus has implemented a robust quality assurance system for popular, high-risk, and complex compounded products in collaboration with the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) to ensure compliance with prevailing regulations, adhering to USP or BP pharmacopoeia standards for quality control.
In 2017, Bova expanded operations to the UK with Bova UK, a Specials Manufacturer focused on delivering high-quality Specials Medications to the UK veterinary sector. Authorized by the Veterinary Medicines Directorate, the facilities obtained a Manufacturer ‘Specials’ Authorisation (ManSA) in 2017 for both sterile and non-sterile medicines. The company upholds stringent quality standards compliant with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) as outlined by the European Medicine Standards.
Made possible by our partnership, Epicur Pharma is manufacturing the only injectable omeprazole formulation identical to the Bova formulation used in clinical studies across the globe.
As we work to raise the standard of care in animal health through the medications we manufacture, Epicur is dedicated to helping veterinary professionals advance the industry and improve patient care.
Stokes Healthcare has prepared medications for your individual patients since 1975 through Stokes Pharmacy. Recognizing the evolving needs of veterinary practices as regulations and
laws changed, including GFI 256 and USP guidelines, we expanded to include Epicur Pharma to serve the needs of many of your patients with standardized and tested bulk medications.
Each of our brands operates with key differences that impact your patient care and influence treatment plans, but they are all unified in their commitment to quality and improving patient outcomes with medication you trust. You can be confident in your patient care when you partner with us, knowing there is consistency and reliability in every medication.
