SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Special precautions for use in animals
If the oromucosal gel is swallowed it will become ineffective.
Therefore feeding the dog or giving it
treats within 15 minutes after administration of the gel should be
avoided. In case the gel is swallowed
the dog can be given another dose if necessary 2 hours after the
previous dose.
In extremely nervous, excited or agitated animals, the levels of
endogenous catecholamines are often
high. The pharmacological response elicited by alpha-2 agonists (e.g.
dexmedetomidine) in such animals
may be reduced.

of age has not been studied.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the
veterinary medicinal product to animals
In case of accidental ingestion or prolonged mucosal contact, seek
medical advice immediately and show
the package leaflet or the label to the physician. Do not drive as
