Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals:
To the user:
This veterinary medicinal product contains mineral oil. Accidental injection/self-
injection may result in severe pain and swelling, particularly if injected into a joint or
finger, and in rare cases could result in the loss of the affected finger if prompt
medical attention is not given. If you are accidentally injected with this veterinary
medicinal product, seek prompt medical advice even if only a very small amount is
injected and take the package leaflet with you. If pain persists for more than 12 hours
after medical examination, seek medical advice again.
To the physician:
This veterinary medicinal product contains mineral oil. Even if small amounts have
been injected, accidental injection with this veterinary medicinal product can cause
intense swelling, which may, for example, result in ischaemic necrosis and even the
loss of a digit. Expert, PROMPT, surgical attention is required and may necessitate
early incision and irrigation of the injected area, especially where there is involvement
of finger pulp or tendon.
