SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES
Vomiting can be associated with serious, severely debilitating
conditions including gastrointestinal
obstructions; therefore, appropriate diagnostic evaluations should be
employed.
Cerenia tablets have been shown to be effective in the treatment of
emesis, however where the
frequency of vomiting is high, orally administered Cerenia may not be
absorbed before the next
vomiting event occurs. It is therefore recommended to initiate the
treatment of emesis with Cerenia
solution for injection.
Good veterinary practice indicates that antiemetics should be used in
conjunction with other veterinary
and supportive measures, such as dietary control and fluid replacement
therapy while addressing the
underlying causes of the vomiting. The safety of maropitant during
treatment beyond 5 days has not
been explored in the target population (i.e. young dogs suffering from
