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 1000 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)
