SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES
IDIOPATHIC EPILEPSY
The pharmacological response to imepitoin may vary and efficacy may
not be complete. On treatment,
some dogs will be free of seizures, in other dogs a reduction of the
number of seizures will be
observed, whilst others will be non-responders. For this reason,
careful consideration should be given
before deciding to switch a stabilized dog onto imepitoin from a
different treatment. In non-
responders, an increase in seizure frequency may be observed.
_ _
Should seizures not be adequately
controlled, further diagnostic measures and other antiepileptic
treatment should be considered. When
transition between different antiepileptic therapies is medically
required, this should be done gradually
and with appropriate clinical supervision.
