SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Special precautions for use in animals
In dogs presenting in acute crisis with pulmonary oedema, pleural

first before commencing oral

Renal function, hydration status and serum electrolytes status should
be monitored:
-
at treatment initiation
-
from 24 hours to 48 hours after treatment initiation
-
from 24 hours to 48 hours after dose change
-
in case of adverse events.
While the animal is on treatment, these parameters should be monitored
at very regular intervals
according to the benefit-risk assessment performed by the responsible
veterinarian
