Important Safety Information
Caninsulin® is contraindicated during periods of hypoglycaemia (low blood glucose levels). Keep out of reach of children. As with all insulin products, careful patient monitoring for hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia (high blood glucose levels) is essential to attain and maintain adequate blood glucose control and prevent associated complications. Overdosage can result in profound hypoglycaemia and death. It is recommended to have a box of powdered glucose at home. Signs of hunger, increasing anxiety, unstable locomotion, muscle twitching, stumbling or sinking in the rear legs and disorientation indicate progression of hypoglycaemia and require immediate administration of glucose solution and food to restore blood glucose levels. The safety and effectiveness of Caninsulin® in kittens, breeding, pregnant, and lactating cats has not been evaluated.
