Precautions
Keep SURPASS and all medications out of reach of children. Exceeding the recommended dosage or treating multiple joints may increase plasma concentrations of diclofenac. Horses should undergo a thorough history and physical examination before initiation of NSAID therapy. Appropriate laboratory tests should be conducted to establish hematological and serum biochemical baseline data before and periodically during administration of any NSAID. As a class, NSAIDs may be associated with gastrointestinal and renal toxicity. Concomitant use of SURPASS with other anti-inflammatory drugs, such as other NSAIDs and corticosteroids, should be avoided. Drug compatibility should be monitored closely in patients receiving adjunctive therapy.
