Hydrocortisone Aceponate Ecuphar 0.584 mg/ml Cutaneous Spray Solution for Dogs

None.

Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
Clinical signs of atopic dermatitis such as pruritus and skin inflammation are not
specific for this disease and therefore other causes of dermatitis such as ectoparasitic
infestations and infections which cause dermatological signs should be ruled out
before treatment is started, and underlying causes should be investigated.
In the case of concurrent microbial disease or parasitic infestation, the dog should
receive appropriate treatment for such condition.
In the absence of specific information, the use in animals suffering from Cushing’s
syndrome shall be based on the risk-benefit assessment.
Since glucocorticosteroids are known to slow growth, use in young animals (under 7
months of age) shall be based on the risk-benefit assessment and subject to regular
clinical evaluations.
Total body surface treated should not exceed approximately 1/3 of the dog’s surface
corresponding for example to a treatment of two flanks from the spine to the mammary
chains including the shoulders and the thighs. See also section 3.10. Otherwise, use
only according to the risk-benefit assessment of the responsible veterinary surgeon
and subject the dog to regular clinical evaluations as further described in section 3.9.
Care should be taken to avoid spraying into the eyes of the animal.
