Side effects of Metacam Injectable Solution For Cows, Pigs And Horses 100 ml
Do not use in horses less than 6 weeks of age.
Do not use in pregnant or lactating mares.
Do not use in horses producing milk for human consumption.
Do not use in animals suffering from impaired hepatic, cardiac or renal function and haemorrhagic disorders, or where there is evidence of ulcerogenic gastro-intestinal lesions. Do not use in case of hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients.
For the treatment of diarrhoea, do not use in animals less than one week of age.
Do not administer concurrently with glucocorticosteroids, other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or with anti-coagulant agents.
Avoid use in very severely dehydrated, hypovolaemic or hypotensive animals which require parenteral rehydration, as there may be a potential risk of renal toxicity.
In case of inadequate relief of pain when used in the treatment of equine colic, careful re-evaluation of the diagnosis should be made as this could indicate the need for surgical intervention,
Subcutaneous, intramuscular as well as intravenous administration is well tolerated; only a slight transient swelling at the injection site following subcutaneous administration was observed in less than 10% of the cattle treated in clinical studies.
In horses, a transient swelling at the injection site can occur but resolves without intervention. In very rare cases anaphylactoid reactions may occur and should be treated symptomatically.
In case of overdosage, symptomatic treatment should be initiated.
If side effects occur, treatment should be discontinued and the advice of a veterinarian should be sought
