SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES
Use of the recommended mode of administration in 5 injection points is
important for achieving
efficacy of the product; injection in 1 point may lead to reduced
efficacy (see section 4.9).
Efficacy has only been tested in conjunction with surgery and
radiotherapy; therefore the treatment
should be conducted according to treatment course described in section
4.9.
Efficacy has not been tested in cats with metastasis or lymph node
involvement.
As safety and efficacy of repetition of the treatment to treat
fibrosarcoma recurrence have not been
investigated, repetition of the treatment should be considered by the
veterinarian taking into account
the benefit-risk balance.
Efficacy of the treatment has not been investigated beyond 2 years
following treatment.
