i) Special precautions for use in animals
Do not exceed the stated dose or the duration of treatment.
Do not administer other NSAIDs concurrently or within 24 hours of each other.
Some NSAIDs may be highly bound to plasma proteins and compete with other
highly bound drugs, which can lead to toxic effects.
Use in any animal less than 6 weeks of age, or in aged animals, may involve
additional risk. If such use cannot be avoided animals may require a reduced
dosage and careful clinical management.
Avoid use in any dehydrated, hypovolaemic or hypotensive animal, as there is a
potential risk of increased renal toxicity. Also refer to section 4.8.
ii) Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary
medicinal product to animals
Carprofen, in common with other NSAIDs, has been shown to exhibit
photosensitising potential in laboratory studies. Avoid skin contact with the
product. Wash off any splashes immediately. Take care to avoid accidental self-

Animals should be carefully monitored if carprofen is administered
simultaneously with an anticoagulant. NSAIDs are highly bound to plasma
proteins and may compete with other highly bound drugs, which can lead to
toxic effects. Concurrent administration of potential nephrotoxic drugs should
be avoided.
