Clinical Description

Maxxtol Injection contains Tolfenamic Acid, a veterinary NSAID used to control pain, inflammation and fever. Its anti-inflammatory activity is related primarily to inhibition of cyclooxygenase-mediated prostaglandin production.

Key Benefits

Precautions

Use only under veterinary supervision. NSAIDs should be used cautiously in animals with kidney, liver or gastrointestinal disease, dehydration, hypovolaemia or a history of gastrointestinal ulceration.

Avoid concurrent administration with other NSAIDs or corticosteroids unless specifically directed by a veterinarian, as this may increase the risk of gastrointestinal and renal adverse effects.

Possible Adverse Effects

Tolfenamic acid is generally well tolerated when appropriately prescribed. Possible adverse reactions include gastrointestinal irritation, vomiting, diarrhoea or reduced appetite. Injection-site discomfort or swelling may occasionally occur. Veterinary farm

Significant gastrointestinal bleeding, persistent vomiting, severe diarrhoea, weakness or other unusual reactions require prompt veterinary attention.
