Cerenia 10 mg/ml Solution for Injection for dogs
Contra-indications, warnings, etc
Vomiting can be associated with serious, severely debilitating conditions and the cause should be investigated. Cerenia Solution for Injection should be used with other supportive measures as appropriate.
The safety of Cerenia has not been established in dogs less than 16 weeks of age and in pregnant or lactating bitches. Use only according to a risk benefit assessment by the responsible veterinary surgeon.
Cerenia Solution for Injection was well tolerated in dogs injected daily with up to 5 times the recommended dose for up to 15 days. Cerenia should be used with caution in animals suffering from or with a predisposition for heart diseases. Cerenia should not be used concomitantly with Ca-channel antagonists as maropitant has affinity to Ca-channels. Maropitant is metabolised in the liver and therefore should be used with caution in dogs with liver disease.
Maropitant is highly bound to plasma proteins and may compete with other highly bound drugs.
The use of Cerenia Solution for Injection against vomiting due to motion sickness is not recommended.
User warnings:
Wash hands after use. In case of accidental self injection seek medical advice immediately and show the package leaflet or the label to the physician. In the case of accidental eye exposure, flush the eyes with plenty of water and seek medical attention.
