Special precautions for use Special precautions for use in animals:
If breast enlargement or lactation occurs, the product should not be used again in these animals. Animals treated with MPA that are subjected to trauma, injury or stress of any kind may respond inadequately to stress; they should therefore be given an additional dose of glucocorticoids as supportive treatment. It is recommended not to administer treatment for longer than 18 months (three injections) without interruption. Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the medicine to animals: Pregnant women should avoid contact with this medicine. Use disposable gloves when administering to avoid contact with the contents. In case of skin contact, wash immediately with soap and water. In case of contact with the eyes, rinse thoroughly with water. In the event of accidental self-injection, seek medical advice and show the package leaflet.
