Contact a veterinarian to adjust the treatment if abdominal discomfort or diarrhoea occur. The veterinary medicinal product can be mixed with feed or given directly into the mouth.

- 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)
