Adverse reactions

Vomiting, soft faeces and/or diarrhoea have been commonly reported in clinical trials, but most cases recovered without treatment.

Apathy, loss of appetite or haemorrhagic diarrhoea have been reported in uncommon cases.

Gastrointestinal ulceration has been reported in uncommon cases.

Elevated blood urea and serum cholesterol levels were observed in healthy, young dogs at the recommended dose in a laboratory safety study.

In case of adverse reactions the use of the veterinary medicinal product should be stopped and general supportive therapy, as for clinical overdose with NSAIDs, should be applied until complete resolution of the signs. Particular attention should be paid to maintain haemodynamic status.

Gastrointestinal protectants and parenteral fluids, as appropriate, may be required for animals that experience gastrointestinal or renal adverse reactions.

The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:

- very common (more than 1 in 10 animals treated displaying adverse reaction(s))

- common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals treated)

- uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals treated)

- rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals treated)

- very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals treated, including isolated reports).
