SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES
Corticoid administration is to induce an improvement in clinical signs
rather than a cure. The treatment
should be combined with environmental control.
Each case should be assessed individually by the veterinarian and an
appropriate treatment program
determined. Treatment with prednisolone should only be initiated when
satisfactory alleviation of
clinical symptoms have not been obtained or are unlikely to be
obtained by environmental control
alone.
Treatment with prednisolone may not sufficiently restore respiratory
function in all cases, and in each
individual case the use of medicinal products with more rapid onset of
action may need to be
considered.
