SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Special precautions for use in animals
The recommended dose, see section 4.9, should not be exceeded.
Use in very young animals, or animals with suspected or confirmed
impairment of renal, cardiac or
hepatic function may involve additional risk. If such use cannot be
avoided, those dogs require careful
veterinary monitoring.
Avoid use in dehydrated, hypovolaemic or hypotensive animals, as there
is a potential risk of
increased renal toxicity. Concurrent administration of potentially
nephrotoxic drugs should be
avoided.
Use this product under strict veterinary monitoring where there is a
risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, or
if the animal previously displayed intolerance to NSAIDs. Renal and/or
hepatic disorders have been
reported
