Lesions (erosion/ulceration) of the oral mucosa and of the skin around

uncommonly associated with the oral
lesions in a field study.
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following
convention:
-
very common (more than 1 in 10 animals treated displaying adverse
reaction(s))

common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals treated)
-
uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals
treated)
-
rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals treated)
-
very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals, including isolated
reports treated)
