Induction and maintenance of general anaesthesia.
4.3 CONTRAINDICATIONS
Do not use in cases of known susceptibility to malignant hyperthermia.
Do not use in cases of known hypersensitivity to the active substance.
4.4 SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES
The metabolism of birds, and to an extent small mammals, is affected
more profoundly by decreases in body
temperature, due to high surface area to body weight ratio. Drug
metabolism in reptiles is slow and highly dependent
upon environmental temperature.
The ease and rapidity of alteration of the depth of anaesthesia with
isoflurane and its low metabolism may be
considered advantageous for its use in special groups of patients such
as old or young, and those with impaired hepatic,
renal or cardiac function.
