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.
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 use of the veterinary medicinal product against vomiting due to
motion sickness is not
recommended.
Dogs:
Although maropitant has been demonstrated to be effective in both the
treatment and prevention of
emesis induced by chemotherapy, it was found more efficacious if used
preventively. Therefore, it is
recommended to administer the veterinary medicinal product prior to
administration of the
chemotherapeutic agent
