Special precautions for use in animals
Do not exceed the recommended dosage.
For safe and effective use, this product should only be administered to horses in the weight
range 450- 600 kg. For horses weighing under 450 kg or over 600 kg, and where firocoxib is
the treatment of choice, use of other firocoxib-containing formulations that allow for accurate
dosing is advised.
Avoid use in any dehydrated, hypovolaemic or hypotensive animals, as there may be potential
risk of increased renal toxicity. Concurrent administration of potentially nephrotoxic veterinary
medicinal products should be avoided. The recommended treatment dose and duration should
not be exceeded.
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 of the veterinary medicinal product.
lead to toxic effects. Do not use concomitantly with corticosteroids or other NSAIDs.
Pre-treatment with other anti-inflammatory substances may result in additional or
increased adverse effects and a treatment-free period with such medicinal products
should therefore be observed. The treatment-free period should take into account the
pharmacological properties of the medicinal products used previously.
Concomitant treatment with molecules displaying action on renal flow (e.g. diuretics) should
be subject to clinical monitoring. Concurrent administration of potentially nephrotoxic
medicinal products should be avoided as there might be an increased risk of renal toxicity.
