Special precautions for use in animals
Avoid use in any dehydrated, hypovolaemic or hypotensive animal, as there is a
potential risk of increased renal toxicity. Concurrent administration of potentially
nephrotoxic drugs should be avoided.
Do not exceed the stated dose or the duration of treatment.
Do not administer other NSAID’s (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)
concurrently or within 24 hours of each other.
As NSAID therapy can be accompanied by GI or renal impairment, adjunctive
fluid therapy should be considered especially in the case of acute mastitis
treatment.
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 contact with skin and
eyes. Should this occur, wash the affected areas immediately. Seek medical
attention if irritation persists.
Care should be taken to avoid accidental self-injection. In case of accidental
self-injection seek medical advice immediately and show the package leaflet or
the label to the physician.
Special precautions for the protection of the environment
Not applicable.
Other precautions
Not applicable.
No specific significant drug interactions have been reported for carprofen.
During clinical studies in cattle four different antibiotic classes were used,
macrolides, tetracyclines, cephalosporins and potentiated penicllins without
known interactions. However, in common with other NSAIDs, carprofen should
not be administered simultaneously with another veterinary medicinal product of
the NSAID or glucocorticoid class. Animals should be carefully monitored if
carprofen is administered simultaneously with an anticoagulant.
NSAID’s are highly bound to plasma proteins and may compete with other
highly bound medicines, such that concomitant administration may result in
toxic effects.
Do not refrigerate or freeze.
Keep the vial in the outer carton in order to protect from light.
Meat and offal: 21 days
Milk: Zero hours
