Could this be "re-labelling"?

My comment:

No more than a careful guess is possible due to the scanty context provided.

re-designation

My comment:

In the context of label use for veterinary medicines, I assume the meaning here to be "re-designation" of label, currently used for one product, so that it may be used for other products, hence "extra use".

change in intended use

My comment:

My sources gave 'rededication', but EuroDicAutom gave 'change of designated land uses', which seems to imply it has something to do with a change in intended use.
