PRECAUTIONS

1. Special precautions for use in animals

Anti-inflammatory corticosteroids such as dexamethasone, are known to exert a wide range of side-effects. Whilst single high doses are generally well tolerated, they may induce severe side-effects in long term use and when esters possessing a long duration of action are administered. Dosage in medium to long term use should therefore generally be kept to the minimum necessary to control symptoms.

2. Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals.

In case of accidental self-injection, seek medical advice immediately and show the carton to the physician.

Pregnant women should not handle this veterinary medicinal product.

Wash hands after use.

WARNINGS

Use of the product in horses could induce laminitis and therefore careful observations should be made during treatment.

Corticosteroids are not recommended for use in pregnant animals. Administration in early pregnancy is known to have caused foetal abnormalities in laboratory animals. Administration in late pregnancy may cause early parturition or abortion.
