Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
The veterinary medicinal product is flavoured. To avoid accidental ingestion the
tablets should be stored out of reach of dogs.
An in vitro study in rat tissue demonstrated that pimobendan increased
glucose-induced insulin release from pancreatic in a dose-dependent
manner. If the veterinary medicinal product is administered to diabetic dogs,
blood glucose levels should be carefully monitored.
As pimobendan is metabolised in the liver, particular care should be taken
when administering the veterinary medicinal product to dogs with severe hepatic
insufficiency.
Monitoring of cardiac function and morphology is recommended in animals
treated with pimobendan.(See also section 3.6).
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary
medicinal product to animals:
In case of accidental ingestion, seek medical advice immediately and show the
package leaflet or the label to the physician.
Wash hands after use.
To the physician: Accidental ingestion, especially by a child, may lead to the
occurrence of tachycardia, orthostatic hypotension, flushing of the face and
headaches.
