Trimeprazine with Prednisolone Tablets for Dogs - Single or 100 Count
Description: 1. Antipruritic: Trimeprazine with Prednisolone is recommended for the relief of itching regardless of cause. Its usefulness has been demonstrated for the relief of itching and the reduction of inflammation commonly associated with most skin disorders of dogs such as the eczema caused by internal disorders, otitis, and dermatitis (allergic, parasitic, pustular, and nonspecific). It often relieves pruritus which does not respond to other therapy. With any pruritus treatment, the cause should be determined and corrected; otherwise, signs are likely to recur following discontinuance of therapy. 2. Antitussive: Trimeprazine with Prednisolone has been found to be effective therapy and adjunctive therapy in various cough conditions of dogs. Therefore, in addition to its anti pruritic action, Trimeprazine with Prednisolone is recommended for the treatment of kennel cough or tracheobronchitis, bronchitis including all allergic bronchitis, and infections and coughs ofnonspecific origin. (Coughs due to cardiac insufficiencies would not be expected to respond to Trimeprazine with Prednisolone therapy.) As with any antitussive treatment, the etiology of the cough should be determined and eliminated if possible. Otherwise, symptoms are likely to recur following discontinuance of therapy. Note: Trimeprazine with Prednisolone may be administered to animals suffering from acute or chronic bacterial infections provided the infection is controlled by appropriate antibiotic or chemotherapeutic agents. Intended For: Dogs Pet Weight: All Includes: 1ct, 100ct Health Considerations: Keep away from children and animals. Prolonged treatment with Trimeprazine with Prednisolone must be withdrawn gradually. Use of corticosteroids, depending on dose, duration, and specific steroid, may result in inhibition of endogenous steroid production following drug withdrawal. In patients presently receiving or recently withdrawn from systemic steroid treatments, therapy with a rapidly acting corticosteroid should be considered in unusually stressful situations. Ingredients: Trimeprazine 5 mg, Prednisolone 2 mg Use: Recommended for the relief of itching regardless of cause.

Warnings/Cautions: Possible side effects attributable to corticosteroids include sodium retention and potassium loss, negative nitrogen balance, suppressed adrenal cortical function, delayed wound healing, osteoporosis, elevated levels of SGPT and SAP, and vomiting and diarrhea (occasionally bloody). Cushings syndrome in dogs has been reported in association with prolonged or repeated steroid therapy. Possible increased susceptibility to bacterial invasion and or the exacerbation of preexisting bacterial infection may occur in patients receiving corticosteroids. Possible side effects attributable to phenothiazine derivatives include sedation; protruding nictitating membrane; blood dyscrasias; intensification and prolongation of the action of analgesics, sedatives and general anesthetics; and potentiation of organophosphate toxicity and the activity of procaine hydrochloride. The appearance and severity of side effects are dose related and are minimal at the recommended dosage level. If troublesome side effects are encountered, the dosage of Trimeprazine with Prednisolone should be reduced and discontinued unless the severity of the condition being treated makes its relief paramount.View details
