Ketofen Tablets
Contra-indications, warnings, etc
For animal treatment only. When treating acute pain or inflammation, do not exceed the stated dose of 1mg/kg or 5 day duration of treatment. Do not administer with diuretics or anti-coagulants. Use is contra-indicated in animals suffering from cardiac, hepatic or renal disease, where there is the possibility of gastro-intestinal ulceration or bleeding, where there is evidence of a blood dyscrasia or hypersensitivity to the product. Do not administer other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) concurrently or within 24 hours of each other. Some NSAIDs may be highly bound to plasma proteins and compete with other highly bound drugs which can lead to toxic effects. Use in any animal less than six weeks of age or in aged animals may involve additional risk. If such use cannot be avoided animals may require a reduced dosage and careful clinical management. Avoid use in any dehydrated, hypovolaemic or hypotensive animal as there is a potential risk of increased renal toxicity. Concurrent administration of potentially nephrotoxic drugs should be avoided. Do not administer to pregnant animals. Vomiting and diarrhoea rarely, but occasionally occur following treatment. These effects rapidly disappear when the treatment is discontinued. The product is well tolerated by dogs and cats at three times the recommended dose of 1 mg/kg, i.e., at 3 mg/kg. Ketoprofen is well tolerated in dogs at five times the recommended dose of 0.25 mg/kg for up to 90 days, i.e., at 1.25 mg/kg.
Wash hands after use.
In the event of accidental ingestion, seek medical advice and show the doctor what has been taken.
