SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Special precautions for use in animals

Due to the longer half life in cats and narrower therapeutic index,
particular care
should be taken not to exceed the recommended dose and the dose should
not be
repeated.
Use in aged dogs and cats may involve additional risk.
If such use cannot be avoided, such animals may require a reduced
dosage and
careful clinical management.
Avoid use in any dehydrated, hypovolaemic or hypotensive animals, as
there is a
potential risk of increased renal toxicity.
NSAIDs can cause inhibition
