SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Special precautions for use in animals
Clinical signs of atopic dermatitis such as pruritus and skin
inflammation are not specific for this
disease and therefore other causes of dermatitis such as ectoparasitic
infestations and infections which
cause dermatological signs should be ruled out before treatment is
started, and underlying causes
should be investigated.
In the case of concurrent microbial disease or parasitic infestation,
the dog should receive appropriate
treatment for such condition.
In the absence of specific information, the use in animal suffering
from Cushing’s syndrome shall be
based on the risk-benefit assessment.
Since glucocorticosteroids are known to slow growth, use in young
animals (under 7 months of age)
shall be based on the risk-benefit assessment and subject to regular
clinical evaluations.
Total body surface treated should not exceed approximately 1/3 of the
dog’s surface corresponding for
example to a treatment of two flanks from the spine to the mammary
chains including the shoulders
3
and the thighs. See also section 4.10. Otherwise, use only according
to the risk-benefit assessment of
the responsible veterinary surgeon and subject the dog to regular
clinica
