SPECIAL WARNING(S)

Special precautions for use in animals

 

  • Do not inject by intravascular way
  • The local anaesthesia must be avoided in infected or inflamed areas.
  • Horses are particularly sensitive to CNS effects of Procaine. The occurrence of CNS effects is particularly observed during administration and the administration must be stopped immediately if these occur.

Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals

  • In case of accidental self-injection, seek medical advice immediately and show the package leaflet or the label to the physician

Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction

Incompatible with a Sulfonamide treatment. The sulfonamides inhibit the conversion of the primary metabolite of procaine acid, the para-aminobenzoic acid in dihydrofolic acid. The para-aminobenzoic acid can inhibit the action of sulfonamides

Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes), if necessary

Symptoms

An important overdose by fast intravenous injection can cause a stimulation of the CNS evolving to clonic convulsions. Then, a phase of depression is observed which can lead in serious cases to a respiratory blockage

Treatments

Apply current measures of reanimation with intravenous injection of a barbiturate of short duration to control the muscular tremors, and envisage a source of oxygen to facilitate the respiration.

Incompatibilities

In the absence of compatibility studies, this veterinary medicinal product must not be mixed with other veterinary medicinal products
