Contra-indications
Do not exceed the stated dose or duration of treatment.
Use is contra-indicated in animals suffering from cardiac, hepatic or renal disease, where there is the possibility of gastro-intestinal ulceration or bleeding, where this is evidence of blood dyscrasia or hypersensitivity to the product.
Do not administer other NSAIDs concurrently or within 24 hours of each other.
Avoid intra-arterial injection.
Avoid use in dehydrated, hypovolaemic or hypotensive animals, as there is a potential risk of increased renal toxicity.
Special warnings for each target species
NSAIDs can cause inhibition of phagocytosis and hence in the treatment of inflammatory conditions associated with bacterial infections, appropriate concurrent antimicrobial therapy should be instigated.
Special precautions for use in animals
Administer by slow intravenous injection.
Do not mix Cronyxin with other medicaments prior to administration.
Do not administer to racehorses within 8 days of racing.
Some NSAIDs may be highly bound to plasma proteins and compete with other highly bound drugs to produce an increase in non-bound pharmacologically active concentrations, which can lead to toxic effects.
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 clinical management.
It is preferable that flunixin is not administered to animals undergoing general anaesthesia until fully recovered.
Concurrent administration of potentially nephrotoxic drugs should be avoided.
