ANTIROBE Capsules and
ANTIROBE AQUADROPS Liquid are contraindicated in animals with a history
of hypersensitivity to preparations containing clindamycin or lincomycin.
Because of potential
adverse gastrointestinal effects, do not administer to rabbits,
hamsters, guinea pigs, horses, chinchillas or ruminating animals.
WARNINGS
Keep out of reach of
children. Not for human use.
PRECAUTIONS
During prolonged therapy
of one month or greater, periodic liver and kidney function tests and
blood counts should be performed.
The use of ANTIROBE
occasionally results in overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms such as
clostridia and yeasts. Therefore, the administration of ANTIROBE should
be avoided in those species sensitive to the gastrointestinal effects of
clindamycin. Should
superinfections occur, appropriate measures should be taken as indicated
by the clinical situation.
Patients with very severe
renal disease and/or very severe hepatic disease accompanied by severe
metabolic aberrations should be dosed with caution, and serum
clindamycin levels monitored during high-dose therapy. Clindamycin
hydrochloride has been shown to have neuromuscular blocking properties
that may enhance the action of other neuromuscular blocking agents.
Therefore, ANTIROBE should be used with caution in animals receiving
such agents.
Safety in gestating
bitches and queens or breeding male dogs and cats has not been
established.
