Special precautions for use
Special precautions for use in animals
Avoid use in any dehydrated, hypovolaemic or hypotensive animal, as there is a potential risk of renal toxicity.
In order to minimise risk of intolerance, the product should be mixed into muesli feed.
This product is only for use in horses weighing between 500 and 600 kg.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals
People with known hypersensitivity to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) should avoid contact with the veterinary medicinal product.
In case of accidental ingestion, seek medical advice immediately and show the package leaflet or the label to the physician.
Adverse reactions (frequency and seriousness)
Isolated cases of adverse reactions typically associated with NSAIDs were observed in clinical trials (slight urticaria, diarrhoea). Symptoms were reversible. In very rare cases loss of appetite, lethargy, abdominal pain and colitis have been reported.
In very rare cases anaphylactoid reactions, which may be serious (including fatal), may occur and should be treated symptomatically.
Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay
Laboratory studies in cattle have not provided any evidence for teratogenic, foetotoxic, or maternotoxic effects. However, no data have been generated in horses. Therefore the use in horses is not recommended during pregnancy and lactation.
Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
Do not administer concurrently with glucocorticoids, other NSAIDs or with anti-coagulant agents.
Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes), if necessary
In the case of overdose symptomatic treatment should be initiated.
