Special warnings for each target species - None Special precautions for use in animals - Use in any animal less than 6 weeks of age or in aged animals may involve additional risk. If such use cannot be avoided animals may require a reduced dosage and careful management. The use of ketoprofen is not recommended in foals under the age of 15 days. Avoid use in any dehydrated, hypovolaemic or hypotensive animals as there is a potential risk of increased renal toxicity. Avoid intra-arterial injection. Do not exceed the stated dose or duration of treatment. Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals - In case of accidental self-injection seek medical advice and show the package leaflet or the label to the physician. People with known hypersensitivity to the active substance and/or benzyl alcohol should avoid contact with the product. Avoid splashes on the skin and eyes. Wash the affected area thoroughly with water should this occur. If irritation persists seek medical advice. Wash hands after use. Adverse reactions - In common with all NSAIDs, due to their action of inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis, there can be the possibility in certain individuals of gastric or renal intolerance. Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay - The safety of ketoprofen has been investigated in pregnant laboratory animals, (rats, mice and rabbits) and in cattle, and showed no teratogenic or embryotoxic effects. The product may be given to pregnant and to lactating cattle, and to lactating sows. As the effects of ketoprofen on the fertility, pregnancy or foetal health of horses have not been determined, the product should not be administered to pregnant horses. As the safety of ketoprofen has not been assessed in pregnant sows, the product should be used in these cases according to a benefit/risk assessment by the responsible veterinarian. Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction - Some NSAIDs may be highly bound to plasma proteins and compete with other highly bound drugs which can lead to toxic effects. Concurrent administration with nephrotoxic drugs should be avoided. Concurrent administration of other steroidal or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, diuretics or anticoagulant agents may lead to potentiating adverse effects. A treatment free period, dependent on the product administered, should be observed between such treatments.”
