Veterinary drugs such as antihelmintics, antibiotics and hormones, could represent a specific problem from the ecotoxicological point of view. The most problematic characteristic of the antihelmintics, especially avermectins, is that they are mostly (98 %) eliminated through feces in non-metabolised, active form. Elimination through feces occurs irrespective of the way of administration. They are also very stable in the environment. Their time of elimination and toxicity to the non-target species are also very problematic. For these reasons, knowledge of their time of elimination from the organism, possibility of their bio- and photo-degradation and their distribution in the environment are very important. These studies represent part of the standards proposed by the European Union for the environmental protection and by the European Agency for Drugs for the registration of the new drugs. In this article, some results of our ecotoxicological studies of avermectins (doramectin) and further studies needed in this field of investigations are presented.
