veterinary medicinal product must not be administered in conjunction with other
NSAIDs or glucocorticosteroids.
Pre-treatment with anti-inflammatory substances may result in additional or
increased adverse effects and accordingly a treatment-free period with such drugs
should be observed for at least 24 hours before commencement of treatment. The
treatment-free period, however, should take into account the pharmacokinetic
properties of the veterinary medicinal products used previously.
