In the absence of specific information, the use in animals suffering from Cushing's syndrome shall be based on the risk-benefit assessment. Since glucocorticosteroids are known to slow growth, use in young animals (under 7 months of age) shall be based on the risk-benefit assessment and subject to regular clinical evaluations. In 12 dogs suffering from atopic dermatitis, after topical application on the skin at the recommended therapeutic dosage for 28 to 70 consecutive days, no noticeable effect on the systemic cortisol level was observed. The total body surface treated should not exceed a surface corresponding for example to a treatment of two flanks from the spine to the mammary chains including the shoulders and the thighs. Otherwise, use only according to the risk-benefit assessment and subject the dog to regular clinical evaluations. The safety of the veterinary medicinal product has not been established during pregnancy and lactation. Systemic absorption of hydrocortisone aceponate being negligible, it is unlikely for teratogenic, foetotoxic, maternotoxic effects to happen at the recommended dosage in dogs.

The solvent in this product may stain certain materials including painted, varnished or other household surfaces or furnishings. Allow the application site to dry before permitting contact with such materials. • OTHER INFORMATION Hydrocortisone aceponate administered topically accumulates and is metabolized in the skin, as suggested by radioactivity distribution studies and pharmacokinetic data. This results in minimal amounts to reach the bloodstream. This particularity will increase the ratio between the desired local anti-inflammatory effect on the skin and the undesirable systemic effects. Hydrocortisone aceponate applications on the skin lesions provide rapid reduction of skin redness, irritation, and scratching while minimizing the general effects.After topical application on the skin at the recommended therapeutic dosage and twice the recommended duration of treatment and at up to a body surface corresponding to the two flanks, from the spine to the mammary chains including the shoulder and the thighs, no systemic effects are observed. Tolerance studies using 3 and 5 times the recommended dosage for twice the recommended duration of treatment resulted in a reduced capacity for production of cortisol that is fully reversible within 7 to 9 weeks after the end of treatment. • PACK PRESENTATION Box containing a bottle of 76ml spray solution.FE98779/032ИОІТАЗІСИІАЯТИО В • SHELF LIFE 24 months from the date of manufactureUse within 6 months after first opening of the container.Manufactured by: VIRBAC S.A.FRANCEImported by: Virbac Animal Health India Pvt, Ltd.,Shri Arihant Annexe, Gala No. 1 to 4, Shri Arihant Comm.
