Oral use.
Tablets can be administered with or without food.
The initial recommended dose is 3.25 mg/kg bodyweight, administered every second day (see Dosing table for details).
The dose given should be based on veterinary assessments conducted weekly for the first six weeks and, thereafter, every six weeks. Duration of treatment depends on the response to treatment.
Treatment should continue in the case of stable disease, or partial or complete response, provided that the product is sufficiently well tolerated. In case of tumour progression, treatment is unlikely to be successful and should be reviewed.
