Do not administer other NSAIDs concurrently or within 24 hours of each
other.
Some NSAIDs may be highly bound to plasma proteins and compete with
other
highly bound drugs, which can lead to toxic effects.
Use in any animal less than 6 weeks of age, or in aged animals, may
involve
additional risk. If such use cannot be avoided animals may require a
reduced
dosage and careful clinical management.
Avoid use in any dehydrated, hypovolaemic or hypotensive animal, as
there is a
potential risk of increased renal toxicity. Also refer to section 4.8.
