Side Effects & Adverse Reactions
WARNING: Clinical and experimental data have demonstrated that corticosteroids administered orally or parenterally to animals may induce the
first stage of parturition when administered during the last trimester of pregnancy and may precipitate premature parturition followed by dystocia,
fetal death, retained placenta and metritis.
Additionally, corticosteroids administered to dogs, rabbits and rodents during pregnancy have produced cleft palate. Other congenital anomalies,
including deformed forelegs, phocomelia and anasarca, have been reported in offspring of dogs which received corticosteroids during pregnancy.
