Prednidale 25 Tablets for Dogs
Dosage and administration
Dose: 0.1-2.0 mg Prednisolone per kg bodyweight per day. The lowest effective dose must be used.
These tablets are not appropriate when dosing small dogs at the lower recommended dosage rates and the 5 mg tablet size may be required.
Treatment should not be withdrawn suddenly. A gradual reduction of dosage is recommended.
Dogs should be dosed in the morning to coincide with the endogenous cortisol peak.
A single administration may be sufficient for some conditions such as anaphylaxis. Other conditions may require treatment for between two and three weeks. Use the lowest effective dose. Alternate-day therapy should be implemented to control symptoms if possible, to minimise the risks of adrenal insufficiency.
For animals with tumours responsive to corticosteroid therapy, use dose levels based on the surface area of the animal. In some cases, dose levels of 20 mg per m2, reducing to 5 mg per m2, have been found useful.
For oral administration only.
Gloves should be worn to administer the product and you should wash hands immediately after administration of the product.
