Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

Respiratory distress is not expected after application of Advantix, and likely consequence of the concomitant cardiac disorder. Death is not expected after product application. Time to onset very long, therefore allergic/anaphylactic reaction can be ruled out. Death likely related to the concomitant cardiac status. Considering all aspects, product relation is deemed to be unlikely.
