day (at least 24 hours) before surgery is scheduled. If, at 7 days after the initial

post-operative analgesia is necessary, subsequent treatments may be administered
at a dose of 4 mg per kg body weight and at a 7-day treatment interval.
The veterinary medicinal product should be given immediately before or with the dog’s
meal.

Since the safety of the medicinal product has not been fully demonstrated in very
young animals, careful monitoring is advised during the treatment of young dogs
aged less than 6 months.

rate of elimination. Use this veterinary medicinal product under strict veterinary
monitoring where there is a risk of gastrointestinal ulceration, or if the animal
previously displayed intolerance to NSAIDs.

product to animals:
This veterinary medicinal product can cause hypersensitivity (allergic) reactions.
People with known hypersensitivity to NSAIDs should avoid contact with the
veterinary medicinal product.

trimester of pregnancy. Pregnant women should administer this veterinary medicinal
product with care.
Ingestion of this veterinary medicinal product may be harmful, especially for children,

be observed. To avoid accidental ingestion, administer the tablet to the dog

bound substances, such that concomitant administration may result in toxic effects.
Pre-treatment with other anti-inflammatory substances may result in additional or
increased adverse reactions. To avoid such adverse reactions when this veterinary
medicinal product is to be administered in replacement to another NSAID, ensure an
appropriate treatment-free period before administering the first dose. The treatment-
free period should, however, consider the pharmacology of the medicinal products
previously used.
Concurrent administration of potentially nephrotoxic veterinary medicinal products
should be avoided.
