for use in animals in the US. The FDA allows veterinarians to prescribe products containing this drug in different species or for other
conditions in certain situations. Your veterinarian can discuss with you why this drug is the most appropriate choice.
It would be so much nicer if these tablets could be made with quadrile scoring, such that they could easily be broken down into 5mg quarters or 10mg halves. It's a bit tricky to do, otherwise. All else is good. Thx.
