Side Effects & Adverse Reactions

Additionally, corticosteroids administered to dogs, rabbits, and rodents during pregnancy have produced a cleft palate. Other congenital anomalies including deformed forelegs, phocomelia, and anasarca have been reported in offspring of dogs which received corticosteroids during pregnancy.
