ADVERSE REACTIONS (FREQUENCY AND SERIOUSNESS)
Steroids themselves, during treatment, may cause Cushingoid
symptoms involving significant alteration of fat, carbohydrate,
protein and mineral metabolism e.g. redistribution of body fat,
muscle weakness and wastage and osteoporosis may result.
During therapy effective doses suppress the Hypothalamo-Pituitary-
Adrenal axis. Following cessation of treatment, symptoms of
adrenal insufficiency extending to adrenocortical atrophy can arise
and this may render the animal unable to deal adequately with
stressful situations. Consideration should therefore be given to
means of minimising problems of adrenal insufficiency following the
withdrawal of treatment, e.g. a gradual reductions of dosage (for
further discussion see standard texts).
- Systemically acting corticosteroids may cause polyuria, polydipsia
and polyphagia, particularly during the early stages of therapy.

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
i.
Special precautions for use in animals
Anti-inflammatory corticosteroids such as dexamethasone, are
known to exert a wide range of side-effects. Whilst single high
doses are generally well tolerated, they may induce severe side-
effects in long term use and when esters possessing a long
duration of action are administered. Dosage in medium to
long term use should therefore generally be kept to the minimum
necessary to control symptoms.
ii.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering
the veterinary medicinal product to animals
In case of accidental self-injection, seek medical advice
immediately and show the carton to the p
