Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals
This product contains clenbuterol, a beta-agonist.
Take care to avoid skin contact. In case of skin contact wash affected area thoroughly. If irritation occurs/persists seek medical advice. Take care to avoid accidental eye contact. In the case of accidental eye contact, flush thoroughly with clean water and seek medical advice. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash hands thoroughly after using the product.
Clenbuterol may cause side effects such as sweating (mainly neck region), muscle tremor, tachycardia, slight hypotension or restlessness. These are typical for β-agonists and occur rarely.
If used during pregnancy, treatment must be discontinued at the expected time of delivery since uterine contractions may be abolished under its influence.
Ventipulmin antagonises the effects of prostaglandin F2α and oxytocin. Ventipulmin is antagonised by β-adrenergic blocking agents.
Dosages of clenbuterol hydrochloride up to 4 times the therapeutic dose (administered orally) for a period of 90 days caused transient side effects typical for beta2-adrenoceptor agonists (sweating, tachycardia, muscle tremor), which required no treatment. In case of accidental overdose, a β-blocker (such as propranolol) may be used as antidote.
Withdrawal period
