Client: Patient: Veterinary Pharmaceutical Data Sheet Brookside Veterinary Clinic, S.C. 2712 Eastern Ave. Plymouth, WI 53073-0439 Josette Svitter Milagro Canine/Retriever, Labrador Mix/Neutered Male Your animal has been prescribed deracoxib. Please read the information below to make sure you fully understand the purpose and proper use of deracoxib. Your veterinarian has requested that you give the prescription (deracoxib) to your animal as follows: GIVE 1/2 TABLET ORALLY EVERY 24 HOURS FOR 30 DAYS. Pharmaceutical: Deracoxib General INDICATIONS FOR USE: Your veterinarian has prescribed this medication for the relief of pain in dogs. PRECAUTIONS: As with any medication, there are precautions and side effects associated with their use. This is sometimes complicated by the fact that many of the drugs used in veterinary patients are human drugs that have not been studied for use in animals. Some of these so called extra label drugs have been used for years in veterinary medicine and side effects and precautions listed are those that have been compiled by experience with these drugs. In cases where veterinary experience is limited, human precautions and side effects have been listed. In any event, many of the side effects listed have occurred very rarely but have been included for your information and awareness. The potential benefit of the use of the drug must be weighed against the information known about the risk of the use of the drug. Your veterinarian has the best interest of your animal in mind and will help you make an informed decision about their treatment. *It should not be used in patients with known sensitivity to this type of drug non steroidal anti inflammatory drug. Dogs with bleeding disorders, GI ulcers, liver disease or pre existing renal impairment may be at a greater risk for serious side effects. Use only when benefit outweighs the risk during pregnancy as safety studies have not been done. It is recommended to give the lowest effective dose as infrequently as is necessary to control pain. Baseline bloodwork and urine is recommended to assess the general health of the patient prior to starting this drug. Periodic bloodwork to monitor this drug s effect on the body is advised if long term therapy is required. SIDE EFFECTS: GI effects are the most common side effect nausea, loss of appetite, vomiting, stomach ulceration, soft stool or diarrhea. Other possible side effects include lethargy, restlessness, aggression, itchiness, hair loss, skin reactions, hives, redness of skin, low albumen, increased water consumption and urination, neurologic signs, seizures and balance disorders. Liver damage, jaundice and/or kidney disease can occur and dogs with pre existing conditions and geriatric dogs seem to be at greater risk. Serious blood changes such as immune mediated hemolytic anemia and low platelet count are also possible. If any reaction becomes severe it may result in the death of the animal. If your animal experiences any of the above side effects, any unusual bleeding or bruising or any unusual symptoms discontinue use and contact your veterinarian. Notify your veterinarian if your animal s condition does not improve or worsens despite this treatment. APPROVED SPECIES: The use of this medication in animals other than dogs is considered extra label as there is no product available for other species. DRUG INTERACTIONS: If your animal has been prescribed any other medication, including aspirin, steroids or other anti inflammatory medication such as Etogesic, Rimadyl or Zubrin please discuss this with your veterinarian as interactions may occur. B OVERDOSE: Keep all drugs out of the reach of children. In case of accidental exposure contact your local health professional immediately. Keep all drugs out of the reach of pets. Overdose of any medication can cause serious adverse effects. In case of accidental ingestion or overdose, contact your veterinarian or the National Animal Poison Control Center at 1-800-548-2423 immediately. Figure 5-12B

Table 5-2 Guidelines for Veterinary Prescribed Drugs and Veterinarian/Client/Patient Relationship Veterinary prescription drugs are labeled for use only by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian. Incidents involving the sale and use of prescription drugs without a prescription should be reported to the proper state authority and the U.S. FDA. Veterinary prescription drugs are to be used or prescribed only within the context of a VCPR. A VCPR exists when all of the following conditions have been met: The veterinarian has assumed responsibility for making clinical judgments regarding the health of the animal(s) and the need for medical treatment, and the client has agreed to follow the veterinarian s instructions. The veterinarian has sufficient knowledge of the animal(s) to initiate at least a general or preliminary diagnosis of the medical condition of the animal(s). This means that the veterinarian has recently seen and is personally acquainted with the keeping and care of the animal(s) by virtue of an examination of the animal(s) or by medically appropriate and timely visits to the premises where the animal(s) are kept. The veterinarian is readily available for follow-up evaluation, or has arranged for emergency coverage, in the event of adverse reactions or failure of the treatment regimen. Veterinary prescription drugs must be properly labeled before being dispensed. Appropriate dispensing and treatment records must be maintained. Veterinary prescription drugs should be dispensed only in quantities required for the treatment of the animal(s) for which the drugs are dispensed. Avoid unlimited refills of prescriptions or any other activity that might result in misuse of drugs. Any drug used in a manner not in accordance with its labeling (extra-label use) should be subjected to the same supervisory precautions that apply to veterinary prescription drugs. Table 5-2
