Oseltamivir Capsules for Dogs - 75mg, 10 count - [Canine Parvovirus]

Oseltamivir is used off-label in veterinary medicine to assist in the treatment of canine parvovirus. The medication should be obtained as soon as the diagnosis is confirmed. If a puppy has been exposed to canine parvovirus but is not ill, often the clinical disease can be circumvented by giving oseltamivir. Usually an oral suspension is compounded or the human product is given.

Since this drug is not labeled for veterinary use, strictly following your veterinarians instructions will help maintain compliance.

Cautions:

Oseltamivir works best early in the course of infection before the patient is combating large amounts of virus. If a patient seems to have an upset stomach on oseltamivir, give the medication with food. Reconstituted oseltamivir does not last longer than 10 days and must be disposed of thereafter.

Side Effects:

In animals, side effects have not been been well documented. However they typically include but are not limited to the following:

• Diarrhea
• Rash
• Vomiting
• Coughing

If other side effects occue, please report them to your veterinarian.
