Reporting adverse events is important. It allows continuous safety monitoring of a
veterinary medicinal product. Reports should be sent, preferably via a veterinarian, to
either the marketing authorisation holder <or its local representative or the national
competent authority via the national reporting system>. See also the last section of the
package leaflet for respective contact details.
Continuation of treatment should be based on the individual response of each animal. If
a positive response is not observed, consider alternative treatments.

Revised: February 2025
AN: 03538/2024
This veterinary medicinal product may induce transient or persistent anti-drug
antibodies. The induction of such antibodies may reduce the efficacy of the product
although this was not observed during the 84 days of the pivotal clinical trial. No
information is available for longer duration treatment.

i) Special precautions for use in animals
The safety and efficacy of this product has not been investigated in cats with kidney
disease IRIS stages 3 and 4. Use of the product in such cases should be based on a
benefit-risk assessment performed by the responsible veterinarian.
ii) Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary
medicinal product to animals
Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, could potentially occur in the case of
accidental self-injection. Repeated accidental self-administration may increase the risk
of hypersensitivity reactions.
The importance of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) in ensuring normal foetal nervous
system development is well-established and laboratory studies conducted on non-
human primates with human anti-NGF antibodies have shown evidence of reproductive
and developmental toxicity. Pregnant women, women trying to conceive, and
breastfeeding women should take extreme care to avoid accidental self-injection.
In case of accidental self-injection, seek medical advice immediately and show the
package leaflet or the label to the physician.
iii) Other precautions
Not applicable.
None known.
There are no safety data on the concurrent use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
(NSAIDs) and frunevetmab in the cat. In clinical trials in humans, rapidly progressive
osteoarthritis has been reported in patients receiving humanised anti-Nerve Growth
Factor (NGF) monoclonal antibody therapy. The incidence of these events increased
with high doses and in those human patients that received long-term (more than 90
days) non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) concomitantly with an anti-NGF
monoclonal antibody. Cats have no reported equivalent of human rapidly progressive
osteoarthritis.
If a vaccine is to be administered at the same time as treatment with frunevetmab, the
vaccine should be administered at a different site to that of frunevetmab administration
to reduce any potential recruitment of immunogenicity (formation of anti-drug
antibodies) to the mAb.
Store in a refrigerator (2 °C – 8 °C).
Do not freeze.
Store in the original package.
Protect from light.
Not applicable.
