SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE IN ANIMALS
Due to the very low doses to be administered, and to avoid any risk of
overdose, the animal must be
weighed, and the recommended doses must be respected.
Phenylpropanolamine, a sympathomimetic drug, may affect the
cardiovascular system, especially blood
pressure and heart rate, and should be used with caution in animals
with cardiovascular diseases.
Care should be exercised in treating animals with severe renal or
hepatic insufficiency, diabetes mellitus,
hyperadrenocorticism, glaucoma, hyperthyroidism or other metabolic
disorders.
In bitches less than 1 year old the possibility of anatomical
disorders contributing to incontinence should
be considered prior to treatment.
