SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
i.
Special precautions for use in animals
Use in dogs less than 6 weeks of age, or in aged dogs, may involve
additional risk.
If such a use cannot be avoided, dogs may require careful clinical
management.
Avoid use in any dehydrated, hypovolaemic or hypotensive dog, as there
is
a potential risk of increased renal toxicity.
Concurrent administration of potential nephrotoxic drugs should be
avoided.
NSAIDs can cause inhibition of phagocytosis and hence in the treatment
of
inflammatory conditions associated with bacterial infection,
appropriate
concurrent antimicrobial therapy should be instigated.
Do not administer other NSAIDs concurrently or within 24 hours of each
other. Some NSAIDs may be highly bound to plasma proteins and
compete with othe
