ADVERSE REACTIONS
Lesions (erosion/ulceration) of the oral mucosa and of the skin around
the mouth were very commonly
observed in treated animals during tolerance studies. These lesions
were mild and resolved without
treatment. Salivation and labial and tongue oedema have been
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)
