The treatment should be continued until the clinical condition is stable.
The minimum treatment period recommended is 2 months, based on the clinical trials results:
The treatment period was 2 to 3 months for 20 % of the dogs
The treatment period was 4 to 5 months for 50 % of the dogs
The treatment period was 6 to 7 months for 20 % of the dogs
The treatment period was > 7 months for 10 % of the dogs
The treatment can be stopped suddenly without gradual dose reductions.
Adverse reactions
Trials have shown that some dominant dogs, with behavioural disorders but no signs of aggression, may become aggressive after treatment. Those previously showing aggression may have this enhanced. Appropriate training is essential in such cases.
